Ukraine and Russia Trade Strikes; Moscow Faces Massive Drone Wave
Ukraine reported at least 10 people killed in a missile strike on the northeastern Kharkiv region, near the Russian border. Local officials said the attack hit a civilian area, though details on the exact target remain unclear. In response, Russia said more than 600 drones were approaching the Moscow area, marking one of the largest aerial assaults on the capital since the war began. Russian air defenses were active, and authorities urged residents to take shelter. Moscow also issued a direct warning to the United Kingdom, accusing London of supplying drones to Kyiv. The Russian government did not provide evidence for the claim but stated that such actions would not go unanswered. The exchange of long-range strikes shows no sign of slowing, as both sides continue to escalate attacks deep into each other’s territory.
