Russia kills 11 in one of its biggest strikes on Ukraine, Zelenskyy says
Ukrainian officials said the barrage hit energy and military sites, while air defenses intercepted 161 targets and rescue crews searched for survivors.
Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack across Ukraine overnight into October 7, targeting Kyiv and Kremenchuk on President Vladimir Putin's 74th birthday.
A missile struck a five-story residential building in Pryluky, Chernihiv region, killing five people and injuring at least 25 as emergency crews searched the rubble.
Russia deployed 130 drones and 48 cruise missiles, while Ukraine's Air Force neutralized 117 drones, 39 cruise missiles, and five ballistic missiles during the overnight barrage.
In Kyiv's Darnytskyi district, a garage fire broke out and bomb disposal teams worked to neutralize an unexploded Russian Iskander ballistic missile embedded among residential buildings.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed at least 11 deaths nationwide, with strikes also damaging industrial facilities in Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia and destroying the KUSUM pharmaceutical plant in Sumy.
It gets colder, and Kiev again expects heavy Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy supply. A first combined air attack falls on a special day for Moscow.
