Russia launched a second major drone and missile bombardment of Ukraine in four days, officials said Tuesday, aiming again at the power grid and apparently snubbing U.S.-led peace efforts as the war approaches the four-year mark.

In total, Russia fired at least 293 drones and 18 missiles overnight, according to the Ukrainian air force. Those figures surpass the attack last Thursday night into Friday, when a total of 278 aerial weapons were deployed, including an Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile.

Russia says it used its new Oreshnik hypersonic missile and other weapons in a massive strike on Ukraine​. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy says a drone hit the Qatar embassy.

On Monday, the United States accused Russia of a " dangerous and inexplicable escalation " of the fighting, when the Trump administration is trying to advance peace negotiations.

Moscow’s account has not been confirmed by Ukraine, but it highlights how dangerous the air war remains even with Western aircraft.

At least four people were killed in a massive Russian aerial assault on Ukraine involving nearly 300 drones and dozens of missiles. President Zelenskyy stated the attack targeted energy facilities, causing extensive civilian infrastructure damage.
