Ukraine launched attacks on several Russian regions on Sunday, with Russian officials saying at least eight people were killed. The reported strikes extended well beyond the main combat zone, reaching areas hundreds of kilometres from the front line.
The latest wave of attacks points to the conflict’s widening geographic reach. Russian authorities said multiple regions were hit, underscoring how both sides are able to affect territory far from the battlefield in eastern and southern Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials described the operation as retaliation, according to available reports. While the full scale and precise targets were not immediately clear, the attacks add to signs that the war is continuing through cross-border strikes as well as fighting along the front.
The violence also comes as US-led peace efforts appear to have stalled. With diplomacy frozen and both sides still carrying out long-range attacks, the prospects for a near-term easing of the war remain uncertain.
