For the third consecutive night, Russia unleashed a wave of drone and missile strikes on western Ukrainian cities, far beyond the front lines.

Russia launched a second night of large-scale aerial attacks on Ukraine early Thursday, targeting Kyiv and multiple western regions with a combination of drones, cruise missiles, and othercballistic weapons.
