At least five people were killed after Russia launched drones, missiles and guided aerial bombs at Ukraine overnight in a major attack that officials there said targeted civilian infrastructure. Moscow sent over 50 ballistic missiles and about 500 drones into nine regions across Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday morning. Four people died and at least six more were injured in a combined drone and missile strike on Lviv, a historic western city often seen as a refuge from fighting. A Ukrainian regional official said a woman was killed and at least nine others were injured in a Russian aerial assault that destroyed residential buildings in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia.
