Russia-Ukraine exchange hundreds of missiles overnight; casualties reported on both sides

Overnight, Russia claimed to have destroyed 230 Ukrainian missiles, while Ukraine reported intercepting 8 of 102 Russian missiles, with casualties on both sides. The scale of the exchange suggests an intensification of the conflict, though claims are unverified and likely inflated for propaganda purposes. This escalation could signal a new phase in the war, with potential implications for regional security and energy markets.
