Overnight into Sunday, Ukraine experienced what Kyiv officials are calling the most intense drone attacks since the start of the conflict. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that over 800 drones were deployed in the assault, alongside 13 missiles, including four ballistic.
Zelenskyy stated that civilian buildings in Kyiv sustained significant damage, with floors collapsing between the fourth and eighth stories of one structure. At least two fatalities have been confirmed, including a child. A government building was also damaged, with a fire breaking out in its upper floors.
Further attacks were reported in Zaporizhzhia, Odessa and the regions of Sumy and Chernihiv. The scale and intensity of the drone deployment marks a significant escalation of recent hostilities.
