On January 23, 2024, Ukraine suffered a massive Russian cruise missile attack, with heavy bombers Tu-95 and Tu-22 launching missiles from the Caspian Sea towards multiple cities, including Kyiv and Kharkiv. Ukrainian air defenses actively engaged the missiles, successfully downing several, including a Russian X-101 Cruise Missile over Kyiv. In Kharkiv, ballistic missiles struck a civilian apartment building, causing rescuers to search for survivors. A gas pipeline in Kharkiv also caught fire due to the strikes. The Governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast reported one fatality and one injury in Pavlohrad, while the Governor of Kharkiv reported two women killed and 11 hospitalized with injuries. The State Emergency Service stated that five people were killed and at least 40 others injured. Ukrainian troops demonstrated their ingenuity by shooting down a Russian cruise missile with a machine gun. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the death toll had risen to at least 18, with more than 130 injured, including children, and warned that the numbers could increase as rescue operations progressed.
