++STARTS ON SOUNDBITE++
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Hanna Arhirova, Associated Press: ++OVERLAID++
"This is the piece of the drone that was plunged by Russia, this night and it was found here near the residential building in Ukraine’s capital. Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones last night and it became the largest aerial attack since the outbreak of the war. Many people sought shelter at the metro stations, at the parking lots, especially those with children. And those who remained at home were listening to the explosions of drones, the gunfire in the air as air defense was trying to protect the city. But after hours of attack and also the explosions from ballistic missiles, people woke up to a new day and they just carried on with their lives. They met with friends, the coffee shops opened in time and people are just joking about the fact that they survived this last night attack and they are happy about this, and that this time their home was not hit. However, the tension remains in the air as it’s not clear when the next attack will happen and lately those attacks are happening almost weekly."

STORYLINE:
Russia launched 550 drones and missiles across Ukraine overnight in the largest aerial assault since the war began.
The capital Kyiv was the primary target.
Authorities said one person was killed and at least 26 people, including a child, were injured.
Ukrainian air defenses shot down 270 targets and another 208 targets were lost from radar and presumed jammed, but dozens still struck or caused damage across the city.
Fires and destruction were reported in at least five of Kyiv’s 10 districts.
The attack came hours after U.S. President Donald Trump held a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump said later of Putin that “I don’t think he’s looking to stop” the war.
