- Russia fired 130 drones and 48 cruise and ballistic missiles at Ukraine in an overnight barrage on October 7, 2026, killing at least 24 people across several regions.
- Ukraine's air defences intercepted 161 of the roughly 178 incoming targets, but four children in the northern city of Pryluky were among those killed.
Why it matters: The 178-projectile salvo represents one of the largest single-night aerial barrages reported in the conflict, and the deaths of four children in the northern city of Pryluky underscore the attack's reach across multiple Ukrainian regions in a single night.
