Escalating Conflict: Russian Air Strikes Claim Lives in Ukraine Amid Record Drone Attacks
In a disturbing escalation of violence, Russian air strikes in southern Ukraine have resulted in the deaths of at least five people, with four fatalities reported in Mykolaiv and one in Zaporizhzhia. Both cities suffered severe damage, including fires in residential areas and injuries to over a dozen civilians, as the conflict reached new heights. This follows an unprecedented nighttime assault where Russia deployed 145 drones against Ukraine, while Ukraine retaliated with an attempted drone strike on Moscow, which Russia claimed to have successfully intercepted.
