Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of a potential mass missile attack within 48 hours as Russian drone strikes hit Kharkiv and local casualties rose in Zaporizhzhia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that intelligence reports indicate Russia has prepared missiles for a potential large-scale strike within the next two days.

The warning comes amid continued localized attacks across the country. In Kharkiv, a Russian attack drone struck near a residential high-rise building in the Saltivka district, shattering windows and causing at least one injury, local authorities reported.

These incidents follow widespread aerial bombardments earlier in the week. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 81 drones and one of three ballistic missiles launched toward the Kyiv region, where strikes on a private training ground resulted in heavy casualties. Additionally, guided aerial bomb attacks on Zaporizhzhia injured 30 people, including seven children. Local emergency and municipal services continue recovery operations in the affected regions as national air threat alerts persist.
