Ukraine unleashes one of its heaviest drone bombardments of Russia
Russian officials said the barrage exceeded the previous high of 556 drones as attacks hit energy and industrial sites across multiple regions.
- On Friday, Russia's Defense Ministry reported air defenses intercepted 660 Ukrainian drones overnight across 12 regions, the Black Sea, and the Russia-held Crimean Peninsula, marking one of the largest attacks since the full-scale invasion began.
- This escalation follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announcing a 40-day influence operation aimed at "compelling to end the war," as Ukraine intensifies strikes against energy infrastructure to starve the Kremlin of vital revenue.
- Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed 47 drones intercepted heading toward the capital, while Tula Governor Dmitry Milyaev reported a woman wounded and industrial damage in Shchekino after a "massive" attack struck a chemical plant.
- Conversely, Russian forces struck the Kharkiv region over the previous 24 hours using guided aerial bombs and drones, killing two civilians and injuring seven others, regional head Oleh Syniehubov reported Friday.
- As the war enters its fifth year, Western analysts suggest this campaign of battering energy facilities behind the front line aims to stall Russian battlefield efforts by disrupting fuel supplies and military deliveries.
