#Russian airstrikes

At least 18 people, including three children aged 2, 14, and 17, were killed and 48 were injured in a massive overnight Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said.

Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region early on August 6, killing at least two civilians and injuring 12 others—including four children—in a targeted attack on a local resort facility, according to regional officials. The strike is part of a sharp escalation in Russian assaults across the region over the past 24 hours.

Russia carried out a large-scale aerial assault on Ukraine overnight, targeting multiple regions with a wave of drones and various types of missiles.

Faced with nightly barrages of Russian suicide drones and a dwindling supply of air defense missiles, Ukraine is turning to an unexpected weapon in the skies: helicopter pairs.
