Russia-Ukraine Conflict Escalates with Drone Attacks, Missile Strikes, and Chemical Plant Blast

Suspicions are mounting over Russia's claim that Ukraine attempted to attack the Kremlin with drones, with analysts suggesting that Russia likely staged the "attack" itself. Ukraine denies any involvement and says it more likely signals that Russia is planning a large-scale terrorist attack against Ukraine in the coming days. Meanwhile, Ukraine has been hit with more drone strikes overnight, with Iranian-made drones being launched by Russian forces from the north and south, aimed at Kyiv and Odesa. The Kremlin claims the attempted attack on the heart of the Russian government was "successfully repulsed."
