Ukraine widens long-range strikes on Russian airpower as Kupyansk push continues

Ukraine has intensified long-range strikes against Russian airfields and drone-launch sites to degrade Russia’s strike and air-defense capabilities, with reported hits on Yeysk and Millerovo airfields and related assets, plus ongoing attacks on Engels-2 and Kirishi refinery. In the Kupyansk direction, Ukrainian forces have conducted a forest-clearing operation and continued advance, while Moscow’s economy bears the cost of the war as Russian marketplaces face higher commissions and lower profitability. Russia maintains drone/missile campaigns against Ukraine, keeping fighting active across Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia fronts.

Ukraine launches large-scale drone attacks on Russian military targets

Ukraine launched a coordinated drone attack on four Russian airfields deep inside Russia, targeting strategic bombers and causing significant damage, in what is considered one of their most daring operations. The attack, planned over a year and personally supervised by President Zelenskyy, involved dozens of small armed drones and aimed to weaken Russia's military capabilities and geopolitical confidence amid ongoing conflict and peace negotiations. Russia responded with its largest drone and missile strikes on Ukraine since 2022, escalating the ongoing war.
