Ukraine Strikes Russian Targets with Domestic-Made Drones
A drone targeted Russian President Vladimir Putin's home region, Leningrad, for the first time since the full-scale war in Ukraine began. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that a drone was shot down over the Leningrad region, and no one was injured in the attack. This marks the 19th Russian region that Ukraine has targeted in the war so far, with previous attacks including a large-scale drone strike on Moscow in May 2023. Russia has been hit with waves of drone strikes throughout the war, with many targeting ammunition depots and warehouses, and Putin has expressed concern that the attacks are an attempt to provoke a response from Russia.
