Kyiv, Ukraine, April 3 (AFP) Apr 03, 2026
Russia on Friday launched almost 500 drones and missiles at Ukraine as it ramped up daytime barrages of the country, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said.

"Almost half a thousand drones and cruise missiles attacked Ukraine," Sybiga said on X, adding that "terrorist Russia strikes in broad daylight deliberately -- to maximise civilian casualties and damage".

Ukrainian grid operator Ukrenergo said that "due to the massive missile and drone attack, emergency power outages have been implemented" across the country.
