The Russian Ministry of Defense reported launching around 70 missiles and attack drones, many of which were ballistic missiles, in a vile and deadly attack. Zelenskyy emphasized that the Russians aimed to strike the energy infrastructure painfully and demonstratively. The attack resulted in five deaths and 26 injuries, including five children, as the missiles hit an ordinary five-story apartment building in Pryluky, Chernihiv region. High-rises in Kremenchuk and apartment buildings in Dnipro also sustained missile strikes, with two casualties each. In Kyiv and Oleksandriya, two people were killed due to the attack. First responders are working tirelessly to rescue and aid the injured.",
