Beginning in March 2022, Russians have attacked many times against Ukrainian civilian targets.
The only real change now is that, as Ukrainians get better at shooting down Russian missiles & drones, Russians have been launching more & more of them.
End result is, while recent Russian missile & drone attacks are the most numerous per day so far, the numbers of Ukrainian civilians killed on December 29 (~30) were far from the highest of the war.
After the 158 Russian missiles & drones launched on December 29, there were no reported civilian deaths from the 125 additional drones & missiles launched from December 31 to January 2.
This is the dreaded Russian Kinzhal "Killjoy" hyperbolic, if not actually hypersonic, missile.
