KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia launched 122 missiles and dozens of drones against Ukrainian targets, officials said Friday, killing at least 30 civilians across the country in what an air force official called the biggest aerial barrage of the war.

At least 144 people were wounded and an unknown number were buried under rubble during the roughly 18-hour onslaught, Ukrainian officials said. A maternity hospital, apartment blocks and schools were among the buildings reported damaged across Ukraine.

In the capital, Kyiv, broken glass and mangled metal littered city streets. Air raid and emergency service sirens wailed as plumes of smoke drifted into a bright blue sky.

Kateryna Ivanivna, a 72-year-old Kyiv resident, said she threw herself to the ground when a missile struck.

replaced by story after (many times unverified) story about Gaza.

During the latest attack on Ukraine, missiles fired by Russia traveled through Polish air space on there way to their targets.

One mishap involving Russian missiles and a NATO ally, and gaza news will fade away very quickly replaced with the drumbeat of of a worldwide conflict.

This is one of my great fears.
