00:02Rescue crews are digging through rubble across Ukraine this morning after Russia launched one
00:07of its largest air assaults of the war. Ukrainian officials say Russia fired more than 600 drones
00:13and dozens of missiles overnight, killing at least nine people and injuring more than 100 others.
00:19Air defenses shot down or disrupted most of the incoming weapons, but strikes still hit
00:24dozens of locations across the country, leaving apartment buildings, homes and other structures
00:29damaged or destroyed. Russia's defense ministry called it a massive strike and said it targeted
00:35Ukrainian military, defense industry, fuel and transport facilities. Moscow said the attack
00:41was retaliation for what it described as terrorist acts carried out by Kiev. The barrage comes as
00:48Ukraine continues to press its allies for more air defense support. Last week, President Volodymyr
00:53Zelenskyy appealed directly to President Trump and members of Congress for additional Patriot
00:59missiles, warning that Russia's missile and drone attacks are growing both larger and more frequent.
