Putin 'needlessly killing a lot of people,' Trump says, as Russia continues drone attacks in Ukraine

According to reports from Ukrainian regional officials and emergency services, Russia has attacked Ukraine for the third consecutive night. The Ukrainian air force stated that Russia launched 355 drones and nine cruise missiles against various targets in Ukraine overnight. This operation is described as the largest drone attack by Russia since the conflict began in February 2022. The previous day, Ukraine experienced the largest aerial attack of the war so far, resulting in at least 12 fatalities. These attacks have led to widespread condemnation from international leaders, including former U.S. President Donald Trump, who criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions. The ongoing drone and missile strikes have targeted infrastructure and urban areas, increasing concerns about civilian casualties and damage to essential services. The escalation in aerial attacks highlights the intensification of hostilities in the region and the continued use of drones and cruise missiles as key components of Russia's military strategy in Ukraine.
