Russia unleashed rockets and drones throughout Ukraine early Friday, damaging schools, hospitals and homes across the country in what Kyiv said was one of the largest aerial barrages since the start of the war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a majority of the almost 110 rockets fired during the attack were intercepted.
Russia used “almost everything it has in its arsenal” in the attack, including ballistic and cruise missiles, he said.
Ukrainians across the country were woken up by the blasts, which killed at least 18 people and injured more than 130, according to officials. Emergency crews rushed to rescue people from under the rubble and prosecutors launched a war crimes investigation into the attacks.
