Russia has launched one of its most intense aerial assaults on Ukraine yet, with reports of a devastating “double-tap” tactic involving waves of missiles and drones targeting the same locations repeatedly.
According to Ukrainian officials, Russia fired 47 missiles and over 1,500 drones in a massive coordinated attack that struck multiple regions, causing widespread destruction and casualties. The “double-tap” strategy — where rescuers and emergency crews risk being hit by secondary strikes — has sparked renewed international condemnation.
