KYIV and LONDON -- Russia's military struck cities across Ukraine overnight, sending waves of missiles and drones in an hourslong attack that Ukrainian officials said may be among the biggest since the war began nearly two years ago.
The Ukrainian Air Force said it's "never seen so many locations targeted simultaneously."
The aerial attack began at about 11 p.m. on Thursday and lasted for several hours. It included at least 122 missiles and 36 drones, the Ukrainian Armed Forces said.
Civilian hubs, including Kyiv, were among the targets, military officials said. Deaths were reported in at least three cities, with many others injured, local officials said.
"We will surely respond to terrorist strikes," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on social media. "And we will continue to fight for the security of our entire country, every city, and every citizen. Russian terror must and will lose."
