Russian Missile and Drone Strikes Kill At Least 18 in Ukraine

At least 18 people died in Ukraine following a series of Russian missile and drone strikes. The attacks represent one of the most intense barrages on the country this year.

The strikes occurred after a short lull in fighting that coincided with the Easter holiday. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spent the preceding days traveling through Europe, where he appealed to allied nations for increased assistance in protecting Ukraine's airspace.

Specific details regarding the locations and types of missiles and drones used in the attack remain unconfirmed.
