A massive Russian assault on Ukraine stretched for more than 12 hours on Sunday, leaving at least four people dead and over 40 others injured, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. In a post on X, Zelenskyy said that the strikes were “a deliberate, targeted terror against ordinary cities,” with nearly 500 attack drones and more than 40 missiles, including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, used in the operation.
According to the Ukrainian leader, the main targets included Kyiv and its surrounding region, as well as Zaporizhzhia, Khmelnytskyi, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv and Odesa. In the capital, the building of the Cardiology Institute was hit, where four deaths were reported, among them a 12-year-old girl. “My condolences to all the families and loved ones,” Zelenskyy said in his message.
Emergency services said civilian facilities bore the brunt of the attack. A bread-production unit, a tyre factory, residential buildings and other infrastructure were damaged across multiple regions. Rescue and medical teams have been deployed.
