Russian Strikes Kill Eight Civilians in Ukraine

Russian forces conducted widespread missile and drone strikes across Ukraine, killing at least eight civilians and injuring dozens more. The attacks extended Russia's ongoing bombardment of Ukrainian urban centers.

Authorities reported casualties in multiple locations as emergency services responded to damaged buildings. Rescuers worked at affected sites, including an apartment building in Lviv.

Ukrainian officials cited a critical shortage of Western-supplied anti-ballistic missile defenses. This shortfall reportedly influenced the intensity and effectiveness of recent Russian operations.
