Russian strikes on Ukraine

Russia regularly strikes Ukraine, using missiles, kamikaze drones, artillery, and aircraft bombs. Civilian infrastructure, such as residential buildings, hospitals, and energy facilities, is often targeted, which creates an additional threat to ordinary citizens. The frontline regions and settlements suffer the most from the attacks.

Russia resorts to massive nighttime drone attacks almost every night. On the night of May 28, Russia launched 6 missiles and 88 drones against Ukraine.
