Russia Launches 'Revenge Strikes' on Ukraine, Targeting Military and Infrastructure
TL;DR
Russia's defence ministry announced "massive" air strikes on Ukraine in retaliation for Ukrainian attacks on its border regions, targeting energy facilities and military infrastructure. The strikes were in response to shelling and attempts to seize Russian border settlements, with Russia claiming to have carried out 49 retaliatory strikes. This comes after pro-Kyiv militias staged armed raids into Russian territory and increased attacks on Russia's border regions, prompting Russian President Vladimir Putin to vow retaliation. Ukraine reported the largest aerial attack in months, with casualties and damage to energy facilities across the country.
