Russia launched 122 missiles and 36 drones against Ukraine

On December 29, Russian officials reported that their country had launched 122 missiles and 36 drones against targets in Ukraine, killing at least 13 civilians in what they described as the largest aerial bombardment of the 22-month conflict. The largest attack, according to the Ukrainian air force, was in November 2022 when Russia fired 96 missiles into Ukraine. The largest this year was 81 missiles on March 9, according to air force records. 

Except for Kalibr missiles launched from submarines, Russia “apparently launched everything they have” in the attack, according to Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yurii Ihnat. During the roughly eighteen-hour assault, numerous persons suffered injuries and an undetermined number were buried behind debris, according to Ukrainian officials. A maternity hospital, residential complexes, and educational institutions were among the structures in Ukraine that were reportedly damaged.

In order to defend itself against airstrikes such as the one that occurred on Friday, Ukrainian officials have pleaded with their Western friends to offer their nation additional air defences. Their cries have come as efforts to maintain support are strained by indications of battle fatigue.

According to Ukraine’s military leader Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the air force intercepted 87 of the missiles and 27 of the Shahed-type drones during the course of the night.

On his official Telegram channel, Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk wrote: “The most massive aerial attack” since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.
