Russia Strikes Ukraine’s Heartland | Calgary News

Russia unleashes a devastating overnight barrage across Ukraine, killing at least eight civilians—including three children—and wounding over fifty others, with strikes reaching far from the front lines near the Polish border. The attack targets Ukraine’s weapons production and logistics, escalating as Kyiv desperately seeks more Western air defense systems. President Zelenskyy, after urgent talks in Washington, presses for faster, larger deliveries of Patriot systems. Humanitarian toll is staggering: a six-year-old girl and two boys, their parents, perish in Dnipropetrovsk; a Kyiv man dies; Lviv sees 34 injured, including children. Russia claims to intercept most of Ukraine’s drones, but Kyiv reports shooting down 260 of 280 launched. Poland investigates a Russian cruise missile entering its airspace, heightening fears and reinforcing the urgent need to bolster Ukraine’s—and Europe’s—defenses.
