29.03.2025Day of Three Cities Under Shahed Fire
Russian Shahed drones struck three major Ukrainian cities in a 24-hour period. Overnight attacks on Dnipro killed four and injured 24, destroying a hotel-restaurant complex and damaging homes. By midday, Russia launched a ballistic missile strike on Kryvyi Rih, wounding eight civilians. As night fell, drones targeted a military hospital in Kharkiv, killing two and injuring 30, including children.

Intelligence reports emerged indicating Russia is preparing a large-scale offensive planned to last 6-9 months along the entire 1,000-kilometer frontline. This coincides with tensions over the Sumy border, where Ukrainian officials denied Russian breakthrough attempts.

President Zelensky called for a "strong reaction" from America and Europe to the nightly drone barrages. Meanwhile, Trump's running mate Vance claimed the energy sector ceasefire was already in effect, despite Russia's apparent violations. Ukrainian military reported destroying 2,000 Russian targets daily using the DELTA system.
