FROM ABC NEWS: Russia carried out a “massive” attack across Ukraine Friday night into Saturday morning, using more than 600 drones and missiles, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.
Russia confirmed Saturday that it had “launched a massive strike using long-range air- and ground-based precision weapons and attack drones against Ukrainian military-industrial complex enterprises developing the Sapsan tactical missile system, producing multipurpose strike and reconnaissance drones, robotic combat vehicles, interceptor UAVs, and loitering munitions.”
The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that “the strike’s objectives were achieved” and “all designated targets were hit.”
However, Ukraine said their air defense systems repelled most of the projectiles, even though they confirmed at least three people were killed and dozens of others were injured, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“The enemy aimed at our infrastructure, residential areas, and civilian enterprises,” Zelenskyy wrote on X. “In Dnipro, a missile with cluster munitions directly struck an apartment building.”
“Every such strike is not a military necessity but a deliberate strategy by Russia to terrorize civilians and destroy our infrastructure,” the Ukranian president wrote.
“That is why a strong international response is needed,” he added.
All night, Ukraine was under a massive attack by Russia. The enemy launched 40 missiles – cruise and ballistic – and about 580 drones of various types. I thank all our warriors who defended the skies throughout the night, and our F-16 pilots, who once again proved their prowess… pic.twitter.com/ajjQV3XwnI
