Russia launches record 948 drones in largest 24-hour attack on Ukraine. Russia has carried out its largest aerial assault on Ukraine since the war began, launching 948 drones within 24 hours. Ukraine’s Air Force said 556 drones were fired during a rare daytime wave, killing at least three people and injuring dozens. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the scale of the strikes shows Moscow has “no intention” of ending the war. The western city of Lviv was hit, with damage reported to the historic Bernardine monastery, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. A maternity hospital was struck in Ivano-Frankivsk, while other cities including Ternopil and Vinnytsia also reported casualties and destruction. Overnight attacks added to the toll, with five people killed as Russia launched hundreds more drones and dozens of missiles. Ukrainian forces intercepted many of the incoming weapons, but officials confirmed multiple direct hits across the country. The escalation comes as U.S.-brokered peace talks remain stalled and the conflict, which began with Russia’s 2022 invasion, shows no sign of slowing.
