At least 35 people were killed in Russian attacks across Ukraine, officials said Thursday, in one of the deadliest barrages in recent weeks. The strikes hit multiple regions overnight, with emergency crews working through the morning to pull survivors from the rubble.
Ukrainian officials described a wide-ranging assault as Russia continues its campaign of long-range strikes with no ceasefire in sight. The death toll was expected to be updated as rescue operations continued and more areas reported damage.
Kyiv renewed its calls for additional air-defense support from Western allies, warning that Russia has intensified attacks on energy infrastructure and civilian areas as winter approaches. The strikes add to a grim autumn toll as the war grinds on with no diplomatic breakthrough on the horizon.
