It was the most massive daytime attack by Russia on Ukraine in months. Shortly after 3 a.m. Eastern Time, air raid sirens wailed across the country, and the Ukrainian Air Force reported that the Russians had launched cruise missiles as well as hypersonic Kinzhal missiles. Ukraine was attacked by five groups of rockets, with some targeting the capital.

The Russians launched missiles from Tu-22M3 strategic bombers and MiG-31 fighters, as well as from Russia's Black Sea and the Rostov region.

A Russian missile killed, among others, 10-year-old karate practitioner Maksym Symaniuk, his nine-year-old sister Nastia, and their mother Zoriana.
