In a troubling escalation of tensions, Russia has launched a record number of drones in an overnight attack on Ukraine, according to reports from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The attack comes after a week of increasing hostility between the two nations, with Russia even testing a new missile on Ukrainian territory.
Zelensky confirmed that Russia has conducted nearly 1,500 strikes on Ukraine since Sunday evening, targeting regions across the country and causing numerous injuries. The Ukrainian military has retaliated by carrying out air strikes on a key oil depot south of Moscow, as well as hitting targets in the Bryansk and Kursk border regions.
The situation between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate, with both sides engaged in a dangerous game of military tit-for-tat. The international community is closely watching the situation unfold, as the risk of further conflict and casualties looms large.
