Ukraine has launched hundreds of drones across Russia, killing at least six people in one of Kyiv’s largest aerial attacks of the war. Kyiv has increased its attacks on Russia this year, targeting military industries and energy facilities. Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it destroyed 822 Ukrainian drones overnight. A drone attack targeted three towns in Russia’s southwestern Rostov region, killing five people, and one man died in the Moscow region. Meanwhile, a Russian missile attack on Ukraine’s Kryvyi Rih killed two people and wounded 14 others. In Romania, a NATO jet shot down a drone that entered Romanian airspace.
