Russia's Response to Ukraine's Aggression: Drone Attacks and Missile Strikes

Russia claims that Ukraine fired a missile towards Moscow and launched 42 drones to attack Crimea, marking one of the largest coordinated Ukrainian air attacks on Russian-held territory. The missile was reportedly shot down over the Kaluga region, near Moscow, with no casualties reported. Russian defense forces destroyed nine drones over Crimea, while 33 were suppressed by electronic warfare and crashed without reaching their targets. Ukraine has not commented on the reports, but has previously stated that targeting Russian military infrastructure helps their counteroffensive. Despite Ukraine's efforts, Russia shows no intention of leaving Crimea, which it seized in 2014.
