00:00Russia has just unleashed one of the largest and most devastating coordinated aerial assaults
00:05since the beginning of the war, plunging multiple Ukrainian cities into chaos overnight.
00:10The sheer scale of the bombardment is staggering. Ukrainian officials report a combined onslaught
00:15of 73 missiles, including advanced hypersonic and ballistic systems, alongside a massive swarm of
00:21over 650 attack drones. The capital city of Kyiv bore a brutal brunt of the attack.
00:26At least four people have been killed here and over 60 injured. Debris from intercepted targets
00:32ignited fires across residential zones, forcing thousands of terrified citizens to flee underground
00:38into the city's subway system to survive the night. The devastation stretched far beyond the capital.
00:44In the central city of Dnipro, nine people lost their lives, including a toddler, when missiles
00:49completely leveled residential structures. In Kharkiv, at least 14 others were wounded amidst
00:55widespread damage to civilian infrastructure. This massive barrage has exposed a critical
01:00vulnerability. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued an urgent plea to Western allies,
01:05warning that Russia is actively exploiting a severe depletion of critical Patriot air defense missiles.
01:10With more than 500 first responders still sifting through the rubble nationwide,
01:14the full human and structural toll is expected to rise.
