20 killed, more than 100 hurt in Russian airborne strikes on Ukraine: Zelenskyy

Russia launched over 470 drones and 48 missiles in a widespread assault, killing 25 in Ternopil and injuring dozens amid Zelenskyy's diplomatic efforts in Turkey.

  • On November 19, 2025, an overnight Russian attack struck the western city of Ternopil, leaving at least 20 dead as rescue workers recovered bodies beyond the initial nine reported by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
  • Russia launched a massive barrage of drones and missiles overnight, using more than 470 drones and 48 missiles to strike energy and transport infrastructure across multiple Ukrainian regions.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote, `In Ternopil, residential nine-story buildings were hit, causing fires. Unfortunately, there is significant destruction, and there may be people trapped under the rubble,` while Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said upper floors were torn off two nine‑story apartment blocks.
  • Poland temporarily closed Rzeszow and Lublin airports and scrambled Polish and allied aircraft, while emergency and rescue teams continued searching rubble for survivors after the strikes.
