Russia launched its largest missile attack on Ukraine so far, firing over 40 missiles, including ballistic types, and deploying over 70 drones overnight, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Ukraine's air defenses reportedly intercepted at least 30 missiles, but several critical infrastructure facilities, including gas infrastructure and energy facilities, were hit, particularly in the Lviv region. This resulted in emergency power outages across multiple regions, including Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kirovohrad. Zelensky stated that Russia targeted Ukraine's gas infrastructure and energy facilities that ensure normal life for people.
