Russia's missile and drone strikes on Ukraine

Russia has continued a sustained campaign of missile and drone strikes against Ukraine, including a recent ballistic missile and drone barrage on Kyiv that killed at least nine people, as well as glide bomb attacks on the southern city of Zaporizhzhia. Ukraine has responded with its own drone strikes inside Russian territory, killing several people and hitting industrial targets including warehouses belonging to major retailer Wildberries. A key point of contention is Ukraine's request for permission to use Elon Musk's Starlink satellite network to guide strikes deeper into Russia, with President Zelenskyy appealing directly to Donald Trump to intervene. The conflict shows no sign of de-escalation, with both sides sustaining casualties and targeting each other's infrastructure.
