Russia launched its largest aerial assault of the Ukraine war overnight into today, deploying more than 800 drones and striking a government building in Kyiv for the first time.

An infant was among at least two people killed in drone strikes on several residential buildings in the capital, which was under an air-raid siren for 11 hours, Kyiv’s city office said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on X that a total of four people had been killed across all of Ukraine yesterday and 44 had been injured.

Moscow’s forces launched a total of 810 drones, four ballistic missiles and nine cruise missiles, the Ukrainian Air Force said.

While most were shot down by air defenses, 54 drones and nine missiles hit targets across Ukraine, the air force said.
