Russia Pounds Ukraine With Kinzhal Missiles and Drone Swarms in Overnight Barrage

Moscow calls the overnight barrage retaliation, prompting Kyiv to press for tougher pressure in talks with the United States.

Overview

  • Ukrainian officials reported three people injured in Kyiv oblast as strikes hit the Fastiv rail hub and the Vyshhorodskyi district on the capital’s outskirts.
  • Emergency services said drone attacks in Chernihiv struck residential and critical facilities, sparking fires that were later extinguished.
  • President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia used more than 650 drones and 51 missiles, with impacts reported across Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Odessa, Lviv, Volyn and Mykolaiv.
  • Local authorities reported widespread utility outages, including roughly 9,500 customers without power in Odessa and about 34,000 without running water.
  • Russia framed the strikes as reprisal operations as U.S.–Ukraine talks proceeded in Miami, Poland launched preventive air patrols, and Kyiv claimed hits on a refinery in Ryazan and a munitions plant in Alchevsk.
