Ukraine Launches Record Drone Attack on Russia

0:00On March 25, Russian air defenses shot down 389 Ukrainian drones overnight, marking the biggest such attack on Russian regions, and Crimea since the invasion more than four years ago. The drones targeted 13 regions, plus the peninsula Russia took from Ukraine back in 2014. This came right after Russia launched nearly 1,000 drones and 34 missiles at Ukrainian cities in just 24 hours, one of there. This barrage is yet stretching into daytime. The Russian strikes killed at least 6 people and injured about 50 more, according to Ukrainian officials. In Russia's Leningrad region north of Moscow, 56 drones were downed, sparking a fire at the Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga. Ukraine also hit energy sites in the nearby Belgorod region, with missiles, knocking out power, water, and heat for locals. These back and forth strikes show Ukraine's homegrown, long-range drones getting stronger, as both sides ramp up aerial assaults in the ongoing conflict.
