Ukraine-Russia Drone Strikes Escalate Conflict

Ukraine and Russia continue to engage in a series of drone strikes, with Ukraine targeting Russian infrastructure and Russia conducting repeated drone attacks on Ukrainian cities. Ukrainian drones reportedly hit ethanol plants in Russia's Voronezh region, causing fires and injuries, while Russia launched a multi-wave drone attack on Kyiv, resulting in one death and five injuries in a residential building. Ukrainian air defense is actively intercepting these attacks, although casualties and damage still occur. The ongoing conflict, initiated by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, continues to result in civilian casualties on both sides. Both Ukraine and the UK remain committed to countering Russian military actions, with the UK providing substantial military support to Ukraine.
