乌克兰方面于周四早晨报告称，俄罗斯对乌全境多座城市发动的大规模袭击已造成至少17人死亡。根据乌克兰空军发布的数据，此次夜间袭击共涉及659架无人机和44枚导弹，其中636架无人机和31枚导弹被拦截。在首都基辅，当局报告至少4人死亡，其中包括一名12岁少年；多处袭击现场引发了大火。基辅市长维塔利·克利钦科表示，共有45人受伤，消防员从基辅中心城区一栋严重受损的建筑中救出了一对母子，并补充说其中一架无人机击中了一栋18层高的住宅楼。
在港口城市奥德萨，据报有9人死亡，23人受伤。在乌克兰南部的第聂伯罗，一栋住宅楼被击中后起火，导致3人死亡，约30人受伤。此外，扎波罗热有1人遇难，哈尔科夫也遭到无人机袭击并导致2人受伤。尽管此次袭击规模巨大，但自战争进入第五年以来，俄方已多次对乌克兰城市发动类似打击。乌克兰国防部长表示，从去年11月到今年3月，俄罗斯累计发射了2.7万架伊朗制“见证者”自杀式无人机、约600枚巡航导弹和462枚弹道导弹，上述数据尚未计入本次袭击。

In Dnipro in southern Ukraine, three people were killed when a residential building caught fire after being hit, and about 30 others were wounded. One person was killed in Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine, and two were injured in a drone attack on Kharkiv in the southeast.While the scale of the attack was significant, Moscow has repeatedly launched large-scale strikes on Ukrainian cities throughout the war, now in its fifth year. On Wednesday, Ukraine reported an overnight assault involving 324 drones and three ballistic missiles. According to Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, between November and March Russia launched a total of 27,000 Iranian-made Shahed suicide drones, about 600 cruise missiles and 462 ballistic missiles — figures that do not include the latest attack.10 View gallery Russian attack on Kyiv (Photo: Serhii Okunev / AFP)10 View gallery Russian attack on Kyiv(Photo: Valentyn Ogirenko/Reuters )10 View gallery More scenes from Kyiv(Photo: Valentyn Ogirenko/Reuters)10 View gallery (Photo: Serhii Okunev / AFP)Ukraine also has been carrying out drone strikes deep inside Russia. Moscow reported a relatively large Ukrainian attack overnight, with the Russian Defense Ministry saying 207 Ukrainian drones were intercepted. Authorities in the Black Sea port city of Tuapse in Russia’s Krasnodar region said two children, ages 5 and 14, were killed. The city is a key hub for Russian oil exports and home to a major refinery. A large fire broke out in the area, and Mayor Sergei Boiko said “drone debris” struck a facility at the port, without providing further details.Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky continues efforts to rally European support for Ukraine in the face of ongoing Russian attacks and to secure additional weapons. He met Wednesday with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, announcing cooperation between Kyiv and Rome on drone production. “Italy is very interested in advancing joint development, particularly in the field of drones — an area in which we know Ukraine has become a leading nation in recent years,” Meloni said after the meeting in Rome.10 View gallery Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zel
