Russia strikes multiple Ukrainian cities as defenses strain.

Russia launched overnight missile and drone attacks that continued into Thursday morning, hitting nine Ukrainian cities and damaging residential areas, schools and medical facilities while killing at least two people. Ukrainian officials said the country remains short of Patriot interceptors as Russia builds up stocks and conducts major barrages every few days, prompting Kyiv to strike command posts and logistics sites inside Russia. Moldova reported drones breaching its airspace ahead of a visit by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and regions across Ukraine, including Kyiv, Poltava and Odesa, reported damage to industry and energy infrastructure. Ukraine also continued its own drone campaign, with Russian authorities claiming to have downed hundreds of drones as Ukrainian forces targeted Ozon logistics sites after earlier strikes on Wildberries.
