Ukraine unleashed hundreds of drones across Russia on Sunday in one of the war's most extensive aerial assaults, killing at least six people and striking targets including a major online retailer's warehouse.

The attacks, which also hit the southern Rostov region killing five people, brought the war closer to the Russian public. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that around 600 drones were detected heading toward the capital, with many destroyed over the Moscow region. An 83-year-old man died when a drone hit a private home in the Moscow region, while a blaze erupted at a Wildberries warehouse in Podolsk.

Meanwhile, Russia launched its own attacks on Ukraine. A missile strike on Kryvyi Rih killed two people and wounded 14, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Another person died in Sumy. ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine's largest steel producer, confirmed one of its sites was hit. In the southern Zaporizhzhia region, a man and a woman died when their home was struck. Russian attacks also ignited fires in Kyiv, damaging a large book market and wounding six people.

Wherever the Russians can reach with their ballistic missiles, they strike civilian infrastructure.
