The massive attack killed at least four people and caused power outages in several cities.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared a video on X and described the attack as "one of the largest attacks - a combined strike, involving over a hundred missiles of various types and around a hundred 'Shaheds.""

"Across Ukraine, we could do much more to protect lives if the aviation of our European neighbours operated in concert with our F-16s and air defence systems. If such unity has proven effective in the Middle East, it must work in Europe too," the Ukrainian leader stressed.
