Russia Launches Second Consecutive Day of Large-Scale Missile and Drone Strikes on Ukraine – May 2026
Russia has conducted a second consecutive day of large-scale missile and drone strikes across Ukraine, with Kyiv bearing the brunt of the assault. The attacks have killed at least eight people, including a 13-year-old child, and injured 44 in the capital. The overnight strikes followed heavy daylight raids on Wednesday described as one of the longest single attacks of the war. Analysts warn Moscow is attempting to overwhelm Ukrainian air defence systems through the widespread and sustained nature of the bombardment.
