Russia Launches Onslaught of Drones and Cruise Missiles at Ukraine
------------------------------------------------------------------

In international news, Russia launched nearly 600 drones and more than
40 cruise missiles at Ukraine, hitting Kyiv and other cities over
Saturday night and into Sunday morning. The onslaught killed at least
four people and wounded at least 70. It comes as Bloomberg reports that
British, French and German envoys privately warned Russia that NATO
members would shoot down any Russian aircraft violating European
airspace. On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that
Ukraine had received a Patriot defense system from Israel and that two
more systems would arrive in the fall.
