Russian Strikes Kill Eight Across Ukraine as Zelenskyy Reports Nearly 4,000 Drones and Missiles in a Week

Russian strikes killed at least eight people and injured dozens more across Ukraine, Ukrainian officials said, as Moscow intensified its aerial campaign against multiple regions of the country. The attacks occurred over the past week, according to reports citing Ukrainian authorities.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia launched nearly 4,000 drones, aerial bombs and missiles at Ukraine during the same period, a figure that highlights the scale of the ongoing bombardment. The strikes have caused civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure, though specific locations and the full extent of the destruction were not immediately detailed in the dispatch.

The reported surge in attacks comes as Ukraine continues to press its allies for additional air-defense systems and long-range weapons. The high number of aerial weapons cited by Zelenskyy is likely to fuel further international calls for tougher measures against Moscow and increased military support for Kyiv. The situation remains fluid, and casualty figures could rise as rescue operations and damage assessments continue.
