Russia–Ukraine War Update: Russia Launches 300+ Drones and Missiles Overnight, Hitting Southern Port Infrastructure

Russia launched a major overnight attack on Ukraine, firing 324 strike drones and three ballistic missiles, according to Ukrainian reporting and Reuters.

Ukrainian officials said the attack hit port infrastructure in the south and caused damage in multiple regions. Reuters reported at least seven people were wounded. Interfax later reported that buildings and dormitories at two universities in Dnipro were damaged in the strike.

AP reported that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was pressing allies for more air-defense support as Russian strikes continued across the country. Ukrainian and international reports said the attack affected several oblasts, including areas in the south and in Dnipro.

The latest strike shows that Russia’s aerial campaign remains intense even as Ukraine seeks more air-defense systems from partners. Damage assessments and casualty totals may still change as local authorities update the situation.

This is a developing story and the most serious reported impacts were in the south and in Dnipro.
