Russian officials said overnight Ukrainian drone attacks on several Russian regions killed eight people and injured more than 60 others. The reported casualties mark another deadly episode as the war increasingly includes long-range strikes beyond the front lines.
According to the Russian side, the attacks unfolded overnight and caused deaths and injuries across affected areas. The claims could not be independently verified from the limited information available, but they point to the growing impact of drone warfare inside Russian territory.
Kyiv has been expanding its aerial campaign against targets inside Russia, focusing on energy facilities and military-related sites. The strategy is widely seen as an effort to disrupt Moscow’s ability to sustain its war effort and to bring pressure away from the battlefield in Ukraine.
The latest reported strike highlights how both sides are relying more heavily on drones as the conflict evolves. It also underscores the widening reach of the war, with attacks increasingly affecting infrastructure and civilians far from the main combat zones.
