"Russian Drone Strikes in Ukraine: Deadly Attacks and Western Support"

At least 51 civilians were killed in one of the deadliest attacks in months as a Russian rocket blast destroyed a village cafe and store in eastern Ukraine. The strike occurred while President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was attending a European forum in Spain to seek support from Ukraine's allies. Zelenskyy denounced the attack as a "demonstrably brutal Russian crime" and called for stronger air defense and support from Western countries. Germany has pledged to supply Ukraine with another Patriot missile air defense system. Meanwhile, Russia has launched drone attacks on Ukraine's southern regions, and Ukraine has retaliated with drone attacks across the border.
