Russia Fires120 Missiles, 90 Drones On Ukraine’s Infra

Kyiv: Russia on Sunday launched a massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine, described by officials as the largest over the past months, targeting energy infrastructure and killing civilians. The attack came as fears are mounting about Moscow’s intentions to devastate Ukraine’s power generation capacity ahead of the cold winter.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia had launched a total of 120 missiles and 90 drones in a large-scale attack across Ukraine. Various types of drones were deployed, he said, including Iranian-made Shaheds as well as cruise, ballistic and aircraft-launched ballistic missiles.

Ukrainian defences shot down 140 air targets, Zelenskyy said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app. Two others were killed in the Odesa region, where the attack damaged energy infrastructure and disrupted power and water supplies.
