Russia hammered civilian areas of Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles in an attack that stretched for hours from daytime into the night, killing at least 16 people and injuring more than 80 others as terrified residents cowered in their homes, officials said Thursday.
Russia launched nearly 700 drones and dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles, primarily targeting civilians, in its biggest aerial barrage in almost two weeks, authorities said.
The bombardment came in the wake of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s trip this week to Germany, Norway and Italy in search for more air defence systems that can stop Russian missiles.
