In a renewed offensive, Russian troops launched a massive missile and drone attack targeting major Ukrainian cities. As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the West to send long-range weapons, Putin’s troops launched an all-out offensive on ground. Air raid alerts were issued across Ukraine as it anticipated a major Russian rocket attack. Early Friday, Russia unleashed a barrage of missiles and drones striking critical infrastructure facilities. Ukraine said seven Iranian-made kamikaze drones were also launched from the Sea of Azov and six Kalibr cruise missiles from the Black Sea.
