Russia Launches Massive Drone Attacks on Ukraine's Energy Infrastructure

A significant escalation in the Ukraine-Russia conflict has unfolded with a series of drone attacks from both sides. On March 20, Ukrainian drones launched a historic attack on the Engels-2 military airbase in Russia, injuring two people and damaging multiple buildings, prompting a state of emergency in the region. In retaliation, Russia has intensified its drone strikes on Ukraine, particularly targeting energy infrastructure in cities like Kyiv and Odesa, resulting in civilian injuries and power outages. In Kherson, drone attacks have led to a rising number of civilian casualties, with local hospitals treating up to 100 patients monthly from drone-related injuries. Meanwhile, Ukraine has also conducted a large-scale drone operation against military targets in Crimea, claiming significant damage to Russian defenses. Both nations continue to suffer heavy losses as drone warfare escalates in this ongoing conflict.
