Russia attacked Ukraine overnight with a massive barrage of 242 drones and 36 missiles, including one that was nuclear-capable, the Ukrainian Air Force said Friday morning.

Russia accelerated its attacks on civilians after President Donald Trump began his efforts to end the war in Ukraine, the first comprehensive assessment of 2025 casualties undertaken by European governments has found.

Russia has launched a second major drone and missile attack of Ukraine in four days, killing four people, and leaving hundreds of thousands without power.
