Russia and Ukraine trade fire
Russia and Ukraine targeted each other’s territory yesterday with drone attacks and airstrikes that hit urban centers and energy facilities, as both sides look for ways to inflict damage beyond the battlefield.
The Russian military said that it had shot down nearly 60 Ukrainian drones over the Krasnodar region of southwest Russia. Ukrainian officials said Russia had struck northeast Ukraine, including Kharkiv, killing at least 10 civilians and wounding more than 20 people.
