Russia launched around 400 drones overnight, striking several Ukrainian regions in its largest assault this week. Kryvyi Rih, Ukrainian President Zelensky’s hometown, faced its worst attack since the war began, leaving 15 injured and damaging infrastructure. Kharkiv, Vinnytsia, and Odesa were also hit, with widespread power outages and fires reported.

Ukraine says 345 drones were intercepted. Nationwide, three people were killed and 38 wounded in the past 24 hours, CNN reported.

Zelensky called for stronger air defenses, warning Russia’s strategy remains unchanged.

In response, US President Donald Trump pledged to send Patriot missile systems via NATO and threatened tariffs on countries buying Russian oil, according to CNN.
