Red Dawn in Kyiv: Russia Unleashes Over 100 Drones and Missiles in Massive Strike
On December 27, 2025, Russia launched a massive strike on Kyiv using over 100 drones and missiles, targeting critical energy infrastructure.
The winter silence in the Ukrainian capital was shattered by more than just air raid sirens. On December 27, 2025, Russia launched a coordinated aerial assault on Kyiv, marking one of the most significant barrages in recent months. According to Reuters, the attack involved waves of kamikaze drones and high-precision cruise missiles.
Energy Infrastructure Under Fire
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that over 100 Shahed drones and multiple missiles targeted the city. While air defense systems successfully intercepted roughly 80% of the incoming threats, several strikes hit critical power plants and substations. This has led to widespread blackouts across Kyiv, leaving thousands without heating as temperatures plunge below freezing.
Conflicting Claims and Global Response
Russia's Defense Ministry stated that the operation successfully hit intended military and energy-related logistics centers. Conversely, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denounced the strikes as 'deliberate terror against civilians' and urged Western allies to accelerate the delivery of advanced air defense systems. The United Nations expressed concern over the targeting of civilian infrastructure during the peak of winter.
