Seven people were killed and 51 others were injured in overnight drone attacks across Russia, according to Russian officials on Saturday. The reported strikes add to the continuing cross-border pressure linked to the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Officials in Russia said the casualties came as Ukrainian drone attacks hit multiple areas during the night. While the full extent of the damage was not detailed in the available report, the incidents were described as part of a broader wave of strikes.
The latest attacks indicate that Kyiv’s forces are maintaining an aerial campaign aimed at targets inside Russia. Drone warfare has become an increasingly visible part of the conflict, with both sides using unmanned systems to try to disrupt operations and show reach beyond the front lines.
With fatalities and dozens of injuries reported, the overnight attacks highlight the human toll of the war as it continues to spill across borders. Further details on the locations and consequences of the strikes were not included in the trimmed report.
