Russia hits Ukraine with ‘most massive airstrike’ yet

Russia launched its “most massive airstrike” on Ukraine since the start of the war as part of an escalating bombing campaign, dashing hopes of a ceasefire.

Air raid alerts sounded “almost all night long” on Saturday as Russia fired a total of 537 aerial weapons at Ukraine, including 477 drones - mostly Russian-Iranian Shaheds, plus a number of decoys - and 60 missiles.

The attack targeted several regions, including west Ukraine, far from the front line.

Ukraine’s air force said it had managed to shoot down 249 and a further 226 were lost, likely having been electronically jammed.
