Russian drone wave targets Kyiv, Lutsk after strikes kill 28 in Ukraine

Russian jet-powered drones threatened Kyiv, Lutsk, and other Ukrainian cities early Thursday, following a day of strikes that killed at least 28 people, including five children, and damaged residential buildings. The attacks occurred on Putin's birthday, a symbolic escalation. Continued drone and missile barrages indicate sustained Russian pressure on Ukrainian urban centers, with civilian casualties mounting.
