Russia launched its largest aerial attack on Ukraine to date, costing an estimated $1.273 billion according to Ukrainian economic outlet Ekonomichna Pravda. The attack involved a variety of missiles and drones, including expensive Kh-101 cruise missiles, and resulted in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure.
