Russia launches a widescale invasion of Ukraine from multiple points of attack.

Ukrainian citizens woke to the sound of air raid sirens early Thursday morning as Russian forces began invading the country from the North, East and South -- and cruise missiles rained down on strategic military targets. The attacks began around 5 am local time, shortly after President Vladimir Putin announced on Russian television the launch of a quote "special military operation" in Ukraine.
