Russia has launched a massive overnight missile assault on Ukraine, reportedly deploying the feared Oreshnik ballistic missile in strikes on western and central regions. Six explosions lit up the night sky over Lviv, hitting critical infrastructure and triggering nationwide air raid alerts. Authorities said no drones or cruise missiles were detected, raising fears of long-range ballistic use. Kyiv and its suburbs were also struck, killing at least three civilians, including a medic responding to earlier attacks. The escalation came hours after Moscow rejected a European peacekeeping proposal, branding Kyiv and its allies an “axis of war” and warning Western troops would be targeted.
