House passes comprehensive Russia sanctions bill, sending it to President Trump

Following the US House of Representatives' approval of a major sanctions and tariff bill aimed at Russia, Russian missiles and drones struck Kyiv and multiple Ukrainian cities overnight. The barrage included Oniks anti-ship cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, four cruise missiles and about 160 drones, according to Ukraine's air force. At least 18 people, including two children, were wounded in Kyiv, while Odesa saw six injuries and damage to a 19-storey apartment block; Zaporizhzhia reported three wounded after a missile hit industrial facilities.

Damage was recorded in eight regions, with energy sites in Sumy and Odesa hit and a brief water supply disruption on Kyiv's left bank of the Dnipro. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy welcomed the sanctions, calling them an "extremely powerful tool" and urging tougher measures to force Russia back to negotiations. He noted that the timing of the bill's passage coincided with the latest Russian attack, underscoring the need for strong economic pressure.
