Russia launched a massive missile strike on Ukraine, causing powerful explosions in Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Kremenchuk.

In the early hours of December 25, Russian occupying forces launched a massive missile strike on Ukrainian territory, specifically using "Kalibr" cruise missiles. The Ukrainian Air Force reported the launches of this type of missile.

"Launches of 'Kalibr' cruise missiles from the Black Sea have been recorded!" — the message stated.

Fifteen minutes later, an air raid alert was declared across all of Ukraine.

By around 6 AM, the first explosions were heard in Kharkiv.

The mayor of Kharkiv, Igor Terekhov, stated that the city is under heavy missile fire.

"A series of explosions have rocked the city, and there are still ballistic strikes aimed at it. Please stay in safe places," — the message read.

The chairman of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleg Sinegubov, noted that the occupying forces struck Kharkiv at least seven times.

"After the enemy strikes, several fires broke out, and there is damage to civilian non-residential infrastructure," — wrote Sinegubov.
