Russia has unleashed one of its most extensive air assaults in weeks, firing waves of missiles, drones and MiG‑31K aircraft capable of carrying Kinzhal hypersonic missiles against targets across Ukraine, including the broader Kyiv region, in the early hours of December 6. Pre‑dawn explosions were reported around the capital and in several regions such as Poltava, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia and western areas, with at least three people wounded in the Kyiv region and air‑raid sirens activated nationwide.
