Russia's Massive Drone Attack on Ukraine

0:00On April 16, Russia just hammered Ukraine with 324 drones and three ballistic missiles overnight. Their biggest barrage in, almost two weeks, 15 people died, including a 12-year-old boy and 90 others got hurt. Right after, the Kremlin dropped a list of European factories making drones and parts for Kiev, spots in the UK, Germany, Denmark, and more calling. Then potential targets. The Russian Defense Ministry blasted Europe for ramping up drone production, saying it turns those countries into Ukraine's backup base and risks. Major escalation. They warned of unpredictable fallout from any attacks using those drones on Russia. Dmitry Medvedev piled on, posting that the list means business for Russian strikes whenever they decide. Strikes lit up Kiev with massive fires near shopping centers and recycling sites, wrecked a kid sports facility in Slovyansk and hit universities. And in Nipro, shattering over 1,000 windows with no military targets around. Ukraine's defense is not bound 309 drones, but the damage hits civilians hard.

1:06Zelensky hit telegram urging daily air defense missiles to keep up. Ukraine fired back, with Russia reporting 85 drones intercepted, and debris sparking fires in their regions, killing at least 3 including. Two kids. Zelensky jetted to Europe, locking in 4 billion euros from Germany and 9 billion from Norway, plus talks on joint drone making with Italy. Ukraine's holding ground, recapturing nearly 50 square kilometers last month and hitting Russian oil sites, but air defense stocks are thinning. Fast to mid-other global fights. Leaders like NATO's Rutaisei stay focused here to keep the momentum rolling.
