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. The six-hour assault, which began just after 1 a.m., followed what officials described as the heaviest single-night barrage since the start of the full-scale invasion. Air raid sirens sounded across the capital, forcing residents to seek shelter in metro stations and underground garages.
