Zelensky "Russian missile and drone attacks on Christmas"... Russia "causes 9 casualties in attack on Ukraine"

Damage continued as warring Ukraine and Russia exchanged missile and drone attacks on Christmas Day.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia fired more than 70 missiles and 100 drones in one day on the 25th.

President Zelensky says the airstrikes were focused on the energy system, and Ukrainian air forces shot down more than 50 missiles.

He then accused Russian President Putin of being inhumane, saying he intentionally attacked it in time for Christmas.

The airstrikes reportedly killed one person and caused massive power outages across Ukraine.

As the Ukrainian military also launched a counterattack, Russia's Defense Ministry said it shot down 59 drones that Ukraine sent last night.

Russia says several residential buildings were severely damaged in the Kursk region, killing four and injuring five others.
