Russian officials said overnight Ukrainian drone attacks killed eight people and wounded more than 60 others in Russia. The reported barrage marked another cross-border strike as Kyiv continues using drones to hit targets inside Russian territory.
The attacks were described as targeting energy infrastructure and military-related sites. Those types of targets are seen as important to Russia’s war effort, making them a recurring focus as Ukraine seeks to disrupt operations beyond the front line.
The latest reported wave also shows how drone warfare remains a major part of the conflict. Long-range aerial attacks can put pressure on defenses, logistics and critical facilities even when fighting on the ground remains concentrated elsewhere.
While the casualty figures and damage were provided by Russian authorities, the reported deaths and injuries underscore the continuing toll of the war. The strikes add to evidence that the aerial campaign between the two countries is still expanding in reach and intensity.
