Summary

Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine using missiles and drones on October 7, coinciding with Russian President Vladimir Putin's birthday. The attack targeted multiple Ukrainian cities and regions, with the heaviest casualties in Pryluky, Chernihiv region, where a Russian missile struck a residential building. Death tolls reported across sources range from at least 24 to 28 people, including children. In Pryluky specifically, reports indicate 18 deaths including four children. Ukraine's air force said it downed approximately 80 percent of the 46 jet-powered drones launched. The strikes damaged residential buildings, industrial facilities, and energy infrastructure across Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attacks as 'vile' and described them as a 'birthday gift' for Putin, while Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha accused Russia of committing war crimes. Search-and-rescue operations and efforts to address the aftermath were ongoing.
