Ukrainian drone strike reportedly destroys a Tu-95 at Engels air base, signaling a broader drone war
A Ukrainian drone strike is reported to have blown off the tail of a Russian Tu-95 strategic bomber at Engels air base, part of a wider set of Ukraine-Russia actions including strikes on Russian shipping, an oil depot near Donetsk, and an attack in Odesa that killed two. The update also notes Russian fire over Novorossiysk, a fire at a maritime academy in Kherson, evacuations in Kherson, and ongoing discussion of a potential Russian mobilization, framing the conflict as a growing drone-led war with domestic Russian pressures and dissent.
