Russia launches ballistic missiles and 167 drones at Ukraine overnight

Russia launched ballistic missiles and 167 drones against Ukraine overnight, according to Ukrainian Air Force command. Air defenses shot down or suppressed 128 drones, with some weapons failing to reach their targets. The attack involved Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles from Russia's Rostov and Voronezh regions, plus Shahed, Gerbera, and decoy drones launched from multiple directions. Strikes hit 23 locations, with debris falling at one site. Four people died in Kamianske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, and seven others were injured across affected areas. Ukrainian authorities and international organizations classify such strikes as war crimes, citing systematic attacks on civilian infrastructure. Russia denies targeting civilians, while legal experts argue these actions may constitute genocide under the 1948 UN Convention.
