Russia Launches Massive Overnight Strike on Ukraine: What We Know

Desk note: France24's dual-channel wire reporting provided the primary source material for this article. The English-language and French-language feeds carried slightly divergent casualty figures — a common outcome when a story is filed before all local assessments are complete. We reported the higher confirmed figure and noted the discrepancy as evidence of verification complexity, not error. The Dnipro imagery was sourced directly from the France24 Telegram channel, which has been a consistent feeder for Ukrainian-conflict wire material throughout 2025–2026.
