Russia fires 122 missiles and 36 drones in what Ukraine calls the biggest aerial barrage of the war

At least 24 civilians across Ukraine were killed and at least 130 people were injured when Russian forces launched their largest aerial attack Friday morning, hitting six cities between Lviv in the west and Kharkiv in the east.

An unknown number of civilians remain trapped under the rubble after missiles struck shopping centers, apartment complexes, schools, and even a maternity ward.

Photos and videos posted online showed streets covered in ash and debris from the attacks, as buildings burned.

A ball of fire was even seen descending on a residential building, leaving it in flames as a plume of black smoke rose into the sky.

In total, Russian forces fired more than 150 missiles and drones at Ukrainian targets in an 18-hour-long exercise.
