Russia launches over 1,000 drones at Ukraine, killing 8 people KYIV — Ukrainian officials reported that Russian forces launched more than 1,000 drones over the past two days, striking cities and killing at least eight people while wounding nearly 100. The attacks targeted areas in western Ukraine, far from the front lines, underscoring the ongoing nature of the conflict. The strikes have drawn attention to the fact that Moscow’s military campaign persists despite global focus on the Middle East crisis. Ukrainian authorities confirmed the casualties but provided no further details on the extent of damage or specific locations hit. The use of drones in such numbers highlights the evolving tactics in the war, with Moscow increasingly relying on unmanned systems to conduct strikes. Analysts noted that the attacks may aim to disrupt civilian infrastructure or test the effectiveness of Ukraine’s defenses. The incident has sparked renewed calls for international support, as Ukrainian officials emphasize the need for sustained assistance to counter the escalating threat.#middle_east #russia #ukraine #moscow #kyiv
