Moscow has followed through on its promise to retaliate for a Ukrainian attack on a Russian tanker by unleashing a massive missile and drone barrage on western Ukraine. 

The overnight shelling has resulted in at least six fatalities. According to reports from Ukraine’s air force, Russia launched 70 attack drones and missiles, including cruise missiles from aircraft over the Caspian Sea and Iranian-made Shahed-136/131 strike UAVs.
