Russia launches massive drone attack on Ukraine cities

Russian drones attacked Ukrainian cities in the night between Friday and Saturday, killing one person and injuring six in a residential building in Odessa.

“Last night, our warriors from various units repelled another Russian attack. More than 300 strike drones and over 30 missiles of various types were launched against our cities,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote in a social media post on Saturday. “Target elimination is still ongoing — drones remain in the air,” he added.

The Ukrainian army said it shot down 208 Russian drones and missiles.

This week the EU adopted an 18th package of sanctions against Russia, which included a lower cap on the price of Russian oil. The measures also restrict Russian banks’ access to transactions, target “shadow fleet” ships used to evade sanctions and ban any transactions related to the Nord Stream pipelines.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
