Russia launched 550 drones and missiles against Ukraine overnight from Thursday to Friday, primarily targeting the capital. According to the spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force, these raids marked the largest assault since Russia's full-scale invasion of the country in 2022.

Shortly after a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which US President Donald Trump expressed frustration over the stalled efforts to end Moscow’s war on Ukraine, Russia launched a drone attack on the Ukrainian capital reports Bloomberg.

The seven-hour bombardment of Kyiv caused severe damage across multiple districts of the capital in a seven-hour onslaught, authorities said.
