At least five killed in massive wave of Russian strikes across Ukraine, officials say

Russia launched a massive wave of strikes across Ukraine that killed at least five people, according to Ukrainian officials. The attacks struck eleven regions and were described as among the most severe in the past ten days, indicating an intensification of Russia's aerial campaign. The strikes underscore the ongoing threat to Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and population centers as the war continues. Russia has conducted sustained bombardment campaigns throughout the conflict, targeting both military and civilian targets across Ukrainian territory. The scale and breadth of these latest attacks demonstrate the continued reach of Russian forces despite Ukraine's air defenses.
