"I woke up to the sound of explosions, first the Shahed drones started buzzing, and then the explosions began," Reuters reported Maria Hilchenko, a 40-year-old resident, as saying. "Then people started screaming outside. The explosions from the Shaheds kept coming."

The barrage left dozens wounded and caused widespread destruction, including damage to schools and diplomatic buildings. Zelensky and Trump later discussed strengthening air defence capabilities amid growing concerns over delayed Western support.
