Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the attack lasted more than 12 hours. Russia reportedly deployed nearly 500 strike drones and over 40 missiles, including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles.

“This vile attack effectively marks the end of the UN General Assembly week, and it is precisely how Russia signals its real stance,” Zelenskyy said, emphasising that Moscow “deserves only the harshest pressure from the world.”
