Russia
launched 70 missiles and Shahed drones overnight into October 7, striking homes
and infrastructure in cities like Kyiv, Dnipro, and Chernihiv, killing at least
25 people including five children and injuring around 100. The deadliest hit in
Pryluky destroyed part of a five-story building, where rescuers pulled survivors
from debris amid ongoing searches.
President Zelenskyy called it one of Russia's most vile assaults a grim 'gift' on Vladimir Putin's 74th birthday and urged Western allies for more air defense systems to protect civilians.
