Russian forces launched 90 missiles and 600 drones at Ukraine overnight May 23-24, the largest attack of 2026. Ukrainian defenses intercepted most, but 16 missiles and 51 drones hit 54 sites, killing at least four civilians and injuring 100, with Kyiv suffering the heaviest damage including the first Oreshnik ballistic missile strike on the capital. In the South China Sea, a Chinese coast guard vessel withdrew from waters near Taiwan’s Pratas Islands after a radio standoff with Taiwan’s coast guard over sovereignty.
