- Russia launched strikes on Ukrainian cities killing at least 25 people, with Kyiv stating it had seen the attack coming, per AP News reporting.
- Zelenskiy condemned the assault as one of Russia's most "vile strikes," while a Russian missile killed 19 people including children who were sleeping in a residential block of flats, per BBC.
Why it matters: At least 25 civilians killed in a single Russian barrage — including children asleep in a residential block — represents a major escalation in tempo, and Kyiv's own statement that the attack was anticipated raises sharp questions about whether early-warning intelligence was acted on to protect civilians.
