Ukrainian forces launched one of their largest drone attacks on Russia since the country's invasion over four years ago, according to officials. They fired nearly 800 drones just two days after conducting a similar offensive, according to a report by the Ukrainian Emergency Service. Russian missiles struck a village in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region, killing at least 10 people and injuring eight others, as per officials' statements.
The ongoing conflict between the two nations is escalating with long-range aerial strikes, as the front line in eastern and southern Ukraine is constrained by numerous drones and ground robots endangering troop movements, according to analysts. Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to reject suggestions for peace talks, despite pressure to end the invasion.
He remains committed to prolonging the war, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on X. Russia's Defense Ministry reported that overnight, they intercepted 791 Ukrainian drones across various Russian regions, along with Crimea and the Black and Azov seas. The second-largest drone attack since January 2025, according to an AP tally.
More than 600 Ukrainian drones targeted the Moscow region, with 180 successfully intercepted, as per Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
