Ukraine Launches Major Drone Attack on Russia

Ukraine has launched a significant wave of drone attacks targeting Russian infrastructure, including oil refineries and a nuclear power plant, across several regions such as Nizhny Novgorod, Smolensk, and Bryansk. The attacks resulted in fires at facilities like the Kstovo oil refinery, though there were no reported casualties. Russian air defense systems reportedly intercepted many of the drones, with 104 drones involved overall. The Ukrainian military claims these strikes aim to disrupt Russian operations critical to the ongoing war. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to bolster its frontline forces by enlisting prisoners, under certain conditions, as part of its military strategy. This escalation comes amidst ongoing tensions and a lack of progress in peace negotiations between the Ukrainian and Russian leadership.
