Russia launched several waves of missile and drone attacks targeting multiple Ukrainian regions, killing at least four people, Ukraine's military reported early Tuesday. This aggression came just one day after Moscow's largest air onslaught of the war.

In Kryvyi Rih, two individuals perished when a hotel was obliterated, while two more died in drone strikes on Zaporizhzhia. Kyiv's air defenses were activated multiple times to repel an onslaught of missiles and drones aimed at the capital.

On Monday, Russia fired more than 200 missiles and drones, killing at least seven people and damaging critical energy infrastructure. The Kremlin claims to have achieved its targets, but ongoing Ukrainian advances challenge this narrative.
