Russia launches more than 5,000 attacks on Ukraine in weekend assault

Russian forces launched 5,130 attacks on Ukraine over the weekend, including 144 using multiple rocket launchers and 82 airstrikes, according to Ukraine’s General Staff. The attacks involved 130 guided aerial bombs.

Russia intensifies its air campaign against Ukraine, launching nightly attacks on civilian areas. Dozens of Shahed “kamikaze” drones, missiles, and guided bombs target residential neighborhoods and infrastructure. These deliberate strikes appear designed to terrorize civilians, causing widespread damage in Ukrainian cities.

In Odesa, Russian drones targeted a warehouse and vehicles early Sunday. One person was critically injured. Russia claims it struck a fuel depot.

Kyiv faced repeated waves of drone attacks overnight, with air raid alerts lasting over five hours. Most drones were intercepted without initial reports of casualties or major damage.
