In a massive overnight attack, Russia struck Ukraine with dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones, reaching deep into western regions near the Polish border. At least eight people were killed, including two children aged 5 and 12 in Kryvyi Rih, with over a dozen injured. Fires broke out in residential blocks in Lviv and debris hit buildings in Kyiv. The attack came hours after President Zelenskyy warned of an imminent major Russian air strike. In response, neighboring Poland scrambled fighter jets to secure its airspace as a precaution. Ukraine's Air Force issued nationwide warnings. Separately, Ukraine attacked a Wildberries warehouse in Russia's Penza region, setting it on fire. Ukraine has repeatedly targeted the online retailer, accusing it of trading materials used in Russia's war effort.
