Over the weekend, Russia carried out its largest aerial assault in a single night on Ukraine, followed by its biggest drone attack.
At least 12 people were killed and dozens injured when Russia fired 367 drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight on Saturday.
Attacks from Moscow continued last night, Ukraine’s air force says Russia launched 355 drones and nine missiles, marking a record number.
Meanwhile, in Russia, the defence ministry says it destroyed and intercepted 96 Ukrainian drones across 12 regions overnight, Tass news agency reports.
The governors of the Oryol and the Ryazan regions confirmed casualties in the aftermath of the strikes. Moscow now controls approximately 20% of Ukraine’s territory, including the southern Crimea peninsula it illegally annexed in 2014.
Ukraine’s Kursk offensive has not succeeded in halting Russia’s push to capture more territory in the east, although its advance along the front lines has been very slow.–BBC
