Russia has unleashed one of its most devastating co-ordinated air assaults in months on Ukraine, with strikes on civilian areas exposing a “double-tap” tactic designed to maximise casualties.
At least one person was killed in overnight strikes on Kyiv, with dozens injured and damage reported across six districts including a partially collapsed residential building early on Thursday morning.
Ukrainian officials said roughly 675 drones and 56 missiles were involved in the overnight phase, after a major daytime drone barrage on Wednesday.
Experts told The Telegraph that the series of strikes was a hallmark of [Russia](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/russia/)’s new double-tap tactic, which sees a deadly nighttime strike combined with an equally heavy daytime assault.
Russian “liberation” continues with unquestioned terrorism. But this is also clear that Putin will not hesitate to use all means to achieve his goal.

Screams of desparation to me. Can’t win on the the front lines so attack civilians instead

I sense desperation to compensate the reality exposed during the parade. Time will tell

Russia are still losing and Putin can still go fuck himself.

Russia is a scum terrorist state and the Trump administration has a lot of Ukrainian blood for being a Russian asset.

Double tap tactics have been employed by Russia for years. The difference now is that they strike during the whole day instead of preferring nighttime. Shit written article

They really are the lowest of the low.
Ukraine NEEDS to remember this next time they ask for a parade ceasefire.
Enough is enough.
They need to allocate a % of drones exclusive for Moscow.

675 drones is absolutely ridiculous. Its scary how much of modern warfare is conducted by this tech.

The article says “675 drones and 56 missiles”, but it doesn’t say how many were shot down by Ukraine. Judging from the results “at least one person was killed…with dozens injured”, I’d say a very high percentage.

Yeah….they’re gonna win this war by launching attacks that kill a few civilians.
Killing little girls will only strengthen Ukraine’s will to fight.
It will take Ukraine 1 day to adapt to this cowardly type of attack and respond with attacks that mean something on the battlefield.
Putin is such a fool.

It’s time for Ukraine to return the favor. Every night, mass drone attacks on Moscow.

Should’ve hit Putin’s pathetic parade.

Any US “leader” that doesn’t respond to this barbarism with a renewed commitment to Ukraine is no leader. We should be doing everything in our power to reverse the Russian invasion. The Russians need to be defeated so badly that historians a thousand years from now will teach Putin’s folly as a case study in how NOT to do geopolitics.
Instead they will still be disturbed by Trump’s utter lack of judgement and compassion.

„At least five people were killed including a 12-year-old girl in overnight strikes on Kyiv. Dozens were injured and damage was reported across six districts including a partially collapsed residential building early on Thursday morning.
Ukrainian officials said roughly 675 drones and 56 missiles . . . “
Infrastructure is important too but with casualties that low, give the scale and scope, shreds is an interesting choice of words.
This isn’t a new tactic.
This isn’t anything Ukraine cannot weather with valor.
