After Ukraine launched a huge drone strike on Russian airbases last weekend, Putin vowed retaliation.

In a phone call with President Trump, Vladmir Putin was reportedly insistent that Russia must respond to Ukraineโ€™s attack, which damaged over 40 aircraft.

Now, we have reports that that retaliation may be underway.

Russia has launched a massive overnight drone and ballistic missile strike on Ukraine, targeting Kiev and several other major cities.

Alleged footage of the strike is going viral online:

The Kyiv Independent said:

Russia barraged Ukraine with missiles and drones throughout the night, threatening every region in the country. The attacks marked the second night in a row Russia launched a mass aerial assault on Kyiv and other cities..

Across Ukraine, attacks continued throughout the night and into the morning as Russia fired relentless waves of drones and missiles. Explosions were in Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Konotop, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv.

Fires have been reported in buildings across Kyivs, like this residential complex:

CNN reported:

Russia launched drones and ballistic missiles at multiple targets across Ukraine, Kyiv authorities said on Friday, with officials reporting residential areas of the capital had been hit and at least three people wounded.

Fires caused by falling debris and drone strikes were reported in buildings across Kyiv, as Ukraine attempted to repel the Russian attack, the Head of Kyiv City Military Administration Tymur Tkachenko said. A CNN producer in the Kyiv region reported hearing at least two explosions.

Tkachenko accused Russia of hitting residential areas with the drone attack, saying a high-rise building the the Solomyansky district of Kyiv was damaged.

Ukraine is hit by nightly barrages of Russian drones and missiles. It was unclear whether the nighttime assault was the retaliatory strike promised by President Vladimir Putin following Ukraineโ€™s daring raids on airfields deep inside Russia.

Kyivโ€™s Mayor Vitali Klitschko also reported fires in the districts of Holosiivskyi and Darnytskyi of the Ukrainian capital and said that three people had been wounded.

Ukrainian air defense units have been activated in the Obolon area of Kyiv, Klitschko said on Telegram early Friday morning local time.

โ€œThe attack on the capital continues. Stay in shelters!โ€ the mayor said.
