25 Killed As Russia Launches ‘Devastating Strikes’ On Ukraine; Kyiv Says Over 90% Missiles Downed

A wave of deadly Russian air strikes on cities across Ukraine, including the capital Kyiv, has left at least 25 people dead. The Russian defense ministry said its military had targeted Ukrainian army reserve units with the strikes. Earlier, the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) reportedly deployed the Tu-95 long-range strategic bombers to carry out a devastating missile strike against Ukrainian cities. However, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) claim to have thwarted almost all of these attacks.
