Day 309 war in Ukraine. In the early morning hours, Russian troops launched a massive missile barrage across Ukrainian territory. Explosions could be heard in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Lviv, as well as Odesa, Zhytomyr, Poltava, Mykolaiv and Sumy regions, among others. Fortunately, anti-aircraft defences managed to shoot down 80 per cent of the missiles.
