RUSSIA launched a massive aerial attack against Ukraine today, firing 93 cruise and ballistic missiles and almost 200 drones, according to Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Ukrainian president called it one of the heaviest bombardments of the country’s energy sector since Russia’s invasion nearly three years ago.

Ukrainian defences shot down most missiles by using F-16 warplanes provided by Western allies earlier this year.
