Russia Launches Large-Scale Strikes on Ukraine, Killing at Least 20

In October 2026, Russia carried out large-scale strikes across Ukraine, including on Kyiv and other areas. At least 20 civilians were killed, with some reports putting the death toll at 24, including four children, after an apartment building collapsed in Pryluky. Ukraine's President Zelenskyy condemned the attacks as "vile" and said they were among the biggest strikes on the country. Russia said it targeted Flamingo missile production sites and energy infrastructure.
