Ukraine was rocked by one of Russia’s deadliest overnight assaults in weeks, as waves of missiles and drones tore through cities across the country, killing six people—including two children—and injuring dozens more, according to officials. The strikes sparked massive fires in Kyiv, reduced homes to rubble, and plunged thousands into darkness amid Moscow’s escalating campaign against Ukraine’s energy grid.

Poland has put Vladimir Putin on notice ahead of his planned trip to Hungary, warning that the Russian leader could be arrested mid-flight if his aircraft dares to cross Polish airspace—a reminder of the International Criminal Court warrant hanging over him for war crimes in Ukraine.
