Russia’s night of fire: Putin's lethal missiles pound Ukrainian cities as Zelensky begs for arsenal

Russia launched another large-scale missile and drone attack across Ukraine, striking multiple cities in one of the latest waves of bombardment. According to Reuters, the July 11 attacks killed at least eight people and wounded dozens. In Sumy, two Russian glide bombs hit near a bus stop, killing five people and injuring around 30 others, while CCTV footage captured a woman shielding a child as the explosion unfolded. Additional strikes hit Zaporizhzhia and Odesa, as Ukraine said Russia fired six ballistic missiles, six cruise missiles and 121 drones. Kyiv claimed its air defences intercepted 111 drones and two cruise missiles, while President Volodymyr Zelensky again urged Western allies to speed up deliveries of air defence systems and military aid.
