Russia conducted a series of large-scale aerial assaults using missiles and drones targeting Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, and other regions. These attacks hit residential buildings, a school, a children's hospital, and a shopping mall, resulting in numerous civilian deaths and injuries. Ukraine has responded with drone strikes against Russian oil refineries and terminals in Perm, Tatarstan, and Krasnodar. Ukrainian officials report a critical shortage of Patriot air defense interceptors during these escalations.
