The strikes hit military facilities, energy hubs deep inside Russia and forced school closures and disrupted air travel across multiple regions.
Russia Says Kyiv Used US-Made Missiles
Moscow claims Kyiv used U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles and British Storm Shadow cruise missiles in the attack.
If the accusation is confirmed, this could further inflame tensions between Russia and the West as Moscow vowed to retaliate.
The Russian military warned that the assault “will not go unanswered.”
