Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of an imminent massive Russian strike as aerial bombardment injured dozens in Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russian forces are preparing a massive missile barrage expected within two days, citing reports from intelligence agencies and international partners. The warning follows a surge in Russian aerial bombardments across multiple regions.

In Zaporizhzhia, guided aerial bomb strikes injured at least 30 people, including seven children. Meanwhile, Ukrainian Air Force officials reported intercepting one of three ballistic missiles fired toward the Kyiv region, as well as two Onyx missiles targeting southern Ukraine, and neutralizing 81 attack drones. In Kharkiv's Saltivka district, a drone hit near a high-rise residential building, shattering windows and injuring at least one person. Emergency services continue recovery operations as air alerts remain active nationwide.
