Russia hammers Kyiv in largest missile and drone barrage since war in Ukraine began

  • Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack on Kyiv overnight into Friday, marking the largest aerial assault since its 2022 invasion began.
  • The attack followed a July 3 phone call in which Putin refused to compromise on Ukraine, while the U.S. paused some weapons shipments to Kyiv earlier this week.
  • Officials reported over 500 drones and 11 missiles targeted Kyiv and other regions, causing damage to about 40 apartment blocks, schools, and infrastructure, injuring at least 23 people.
  • Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called the night a 'deliberate act of terror,' while President Zelenskyy called the strikes 'cynical' and urged increased pressure on Moscow.
  • The attack highlighted Russia's continued offensive despite diplomatic talks, underscoring Kyiv's concerns that the halt in U.S. arms deliveries weakens its defense amid mounting assaults.
