Four people were killed and dozens more were injured when a barrage of drones and missiles overwhelmed Ukraine's air defense system in the early hours of the morning, targeting key infrastructure and residential areas.

Kyiv endured a massive overnight assault as Russia launched over 400 drones and 18 missiles, officials say. At least 30 residential buildings were damaged, leaving families devastated. Survivors describe walls collapsing and flames erupting.
