Ukrainian drones hit Russia in massive overnight attack
Ukraine launched nearly 600 drones in one of its largest overnight attacks on Russia, a retaliatory move following a Russian assault on Kyiv that killed 24 people; the strikes killed four individuals (three in the Moscow region, one in Belgorod) and wounded at least 12 in Moscow, with Russian air defenses shooting down 556 of the drones. Russian forces also sent 287 drones to Ukraine overnight, 279 of which were intercepted or jammed, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attacks justified amid stalled diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
