Putin Birthday Attacks Kill 28 Across Ukraine, Including Five Children in Pryluky

Russia fired 50 missiles and 130 drones in the overnight assault, and Ukrainian officials said ballistic missiles were the hardest to intercept.

  • Russian missile attacks across Ukraine killed at least 28 people on Wednesday, including five children who died when a missile slammed into an apartment block in Pryluky while they slept.
  • President Volodymyr Zelensky warned on Tuesday of a "massive" Russian attack targeting energy infrastructure, which materialized as Russia launched at least 50 missiles and 130 drones overnight.
  • In Pryluky, the blast reduced half of the five-story apartment building to a smoking pile; resident Olena Sayun, 40, recalled the strike occurring while they slept, with three victims just 12 months old.
  • Strikes also hit the Darnytskyi neighborhood in Kyiv, Kremenchuk, and Oleksandriya, causing power cuts that plunged parts of the capital into darkness and disrupted water supplies on Wednesday evening.
  • Zelensky called the incident "one of the most vile strikes" and cited Ukraine's "just responses" against Russian oil facilities, amid mounting concern regarding rising civilian casualties on both sides.
