Russia launched a massive overnight aerial operation against Ukraine on Tuesday, marking Moscow’s third heavy assault in less than a month. According to Ukrainian authorities, Russian forces fired 73 missiles and 656 drones at Kyiv and other major cities, killing at least 22 people, including several children, and injuring nearly 140 others. The strikes, which reportedly damaged civilian and energy infrastructure, also forced more than 40,000 residents to shelter in Kyiv’s subway system—the largest number of people to do so in recent years.
