Russian drones bomb Zelensky's hometown, say Ukrainian officials

Russia launched a major drone attack on Ukraine, targeting President Zelensky’s hometown, Kryvyi Rih, with "massive" bombardments. The raid involved around 400 long-range drones and one missile, marking a significant escalation. Key regions like Kharkiv and Vinnytsia were also heavily struck. In Kryvyi Rih, the assault caused fires and disrupted services.

Zelensky reported injuries and indicated that energy infrastructure was targeted. He stressed the need for enhanced air defense capabilities. The attacks follow a shift in U.S. policy, with increased military support for Ukraine and potential sanctions against Russia.
