The Moscow region is hit by a drone blitz as Russian missiles kill 10 in a Ukrainian village

Ukrainian forces have launched one of their biggest drone attacks on Russia since the invasion began, firing almost 800 drones. The overnight attack comes just two days after a similar assault. Meanwhile, officials said a Russian missile strike on a village in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region killed at least 10 people and wounded 17 others. Analysts say both countries are locked in an escalating duel of long-range aerial strikes. Ukraine aims to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin into peace talks, but he shows no sign of stopping the invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the missile strike a "brutal attack" on civilians.
