Russia launched a wave of drone and missile attacks on Ukraine overnight, killing eight people and striking two vessels in the Black Sea, according to Ukraine's Air Force. Officials said dozens of drones and two anti-ship missiles were used in the assault, adding to the mounting civilian toll from the ongoing war. The strikes come as Western pressure on Moscow intensifies, including newly signed US sanctions targeting Russian oil exports. The attack underscores the continued intensity of the conflict even as diplomatic efforts toward a broader peace settlement continue elsewhere.
