Tensions between Russia and Ukraine have escalated further as Russia accused Ukraine of launching a significant drone attack on Russian soil. This incident marks the largest reported drone assault since Moscow's invasion 18 months ago. In retaliation, Russia carried out an attack on Kyiv, resulting in casualties.

Reports suggest that drones struck an airport in Russia's Pskov region near the border with Estonia and Latvia, causing a massive fire. Several drones were intercepted and shot down over various regions in Russia, including Oryol, Bryansk, Ryazan, Kaluga, and the Moscow area.
