    Russia has reportedly started to launch long-range missiles toward Ukraine and has aircraft en route to carry out additional strikes during the initial hours of the early morning full-scale invasion into Ukraine.

    "Ukrainian officials said an initial wave of strikes targeted military installations, airfields and government facilities across the country, as well as border force installations. Ukraine's border service said its troops came under attack all along the country's frontiers with Russia and Belarus," The Wall Street Journal reported. "Kyiv didn't immediately offer any official estimate of casualties. But a senior Ukrainian official said he believed hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers had died in Russian airstrikes and missile attacks that began at 5 a.m. local time."

    Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, tweeted out details of the attack seemingly before they were reported elsewhere.

    "Russian aircraft are now en route to conduct additional targeted strikes on a number of key defense sites through all of Ukraine," Rubio wrote. "Long range missile launches from #Russia are now underway[.] They are headed towards various pre-selected military sites throughout Ukraine."

    "What is underway is a full scale & comprehensive military assault throughout Ukraine," Rubio added. "Airborne & amphibious landings, missile strikes from air, ground & naval forces, electronic & cyber attacks & a large ground force to occupy a large swath of territory."
