A devastating Russian aerial assault on Ternopil, Ukraine, has resulted in at least 26 fatalities and many injuries, with 22 individuals still unaccounted for. The attack, which involved 476 drones and 48 missiles targeting critical infrastructure, destroyed a residential building, leaving emergency crews to search for survivors amid the rubble. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy’s diplomatic efforts for peace coincided with the bombardment, as Poland temporarily closed airports in response. Russia claims its strikes were retaliation for alleged Ukrainian attacks on its territory, despite denials of targeting civilians.
