Buildings across central Israel suffer major damage as missiles breach defences
The United Nations has condemned the killings
Ukraine's air defence units down 460 out of 479 drones and 19 out of 20 missiles launched by the Russian forces
A Western diplomatic source said that while Russia's response may have started, it would likely intensify with strikes against symbolic Ukrainian targets like government buildings
The damaged A-50s were likely non-operational when struck, military official says
The aircrafts struck are strategic bombers used to launch long-range missiles at Ukraine
If confirmed, the strikes would be the most damaging Ukrainian drone attack of the war, and would be a significant setback for Moscow
The dead included three children in the northern region of Zhytomyr, local officials say
