Russia unleashed one of the most punishing aerial barrages of the war overnight, firing approximately 600 drones and 90 missiles at Kyiv and the surrounding Bila Tserkva district. At least two people were killed in the capital.
Among the weapons deployed was the Oreshnik, a hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile capable of exceeding Mach 10. This marks only the third confirmed combat use of the system since November 2024.
No immediate crypto market disruptions or notable token movements were reported in the hours following the strike. Prior escalations have historically resulted in risk-off behavior, but the lack of a sell-off may indicate that markets had already priced in continued escalation.
