Russia Targets Civilians in Ukraine

Russia unleashed its largest aerial assault of 2026, firing 73 cruise missiles and 656 drones overnight into Ukraine, killing at least 22 civilians and injuring 138. Targets included residential zones in Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv, despite Ukrainian defenses intercepting 40 missiles and 602 drones. In Dnipro, a drone strike on a home triggered a day of mourning — a grim escalation analysts believe may be Russia’s attempt to instill terror and compensate for stalled battlefield advances. Ukraine braces for more as it focuses on defense and recovery amid relentless attacks. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
