**Breaking News: Russia Launches Largest Aerial Assault on Ukraine in Ongoing Conflict**
In a shocking escalation of hostilities, Russia has unleashed its most extensive aerial attack on Ukraine since the onset of the full-scale invasion in February 2022. Overnight, Ukrainian officials reported that 537 aerial weapons were fired, including a staggering 477 drones and decoys, alongside 60 missiles. This unprecedented assault has obliterated hopes for a peaceful resolution to the three-year-long conflict.
The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed that 249 of the attacking drones and missiles were intercepted, while 226 were likely lost due to electronic jamming. The onslaught targeted multiple regions, striking areas far from the front lines, including Western Ukraine. Amidst the chaos, one individual was killed in a drone strike in the Person region, and another tragically lost their life when a drone hit a car in the Kharkiv region. Six others sustained injuries, including a child.
The devastation continued as a large fire erupted at an industrial facility following a drone attack, cutting electricity to parts of the city. In a grim twist, one of Ukraine’s F-16 warplanes, provided by Western allies, crashed while engaging enemy targets, resulting in the loss of the pilot’s life.
As the attacks persist into Sunday morning, Polish and allied forces have scrambled aircraft to secure their airspace amidst rising tensions. Eyewitness reports describe scenes of panic and destruction, with the Ukrainian government urging citizens to remain vigilant as the situation unfolds.
This is a rapidly developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available. Stay tuned for the latest on this critical situation as it evolves.
