Russia launched its largest drone assault of the war overnight, unleashing 273 Shahed drones across Ukraine in a coordinated campaign that killed a 28-year-old woman and wounded at least three others, including a four-year-old child. The attack struck multiple regions— Kyiv, Dnipro, and Donetsk— targeting only residential neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure. Ukraine’s Air Force intercepted 88 drones.

A Russian drone strike deliberately targeted a civilian minibus in Ukraine’s Sumy region on Saturday, killing nine people, most of them women, according to Ukrainian officials. The vehicle was struck near the town of Velyka Pysarivka, just kilometers from the Russian border, in a region increasingly terrorized by Moscow’s aerial attacks on civilians. The drone, identified as a Russian loitering munition, hit the minibus as it traveled along a local road.
