"Russia's Night of Drone Attacks on Kyiv Escalates Tensions Ahead of NATO Summit"

Russia launched a second consecutive night of drone attacks on Kyiv and other regions, including port infrastructure in the Odesa region, as NATO leaders gathered for a summit in Vilnius. Ukrainian military reports indicate that all drones were intercepted before reaching their targets, with no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage. The attacks are seen as a demonstrative response to the NATO Summit and an attempt to discourage NATO members from providing further military aid to Ukraine. The Institute for the Study of War suggests that Russia may also be using the attacks to send a message to Turkish President Erdogan, who recently expressed support for Ukraine's NATO membership.
