Ukraine Unleashes One of Its Heaviest Drone Bombardments of Russia

UKRAINE – Ukraine launched a major night-time attack on a dozen Russian regions, Russian-held Crimea and the surrounding seas, in what appeared to be one of Kyiv’s biggest drone assaults since the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion more than four years ago.

Russian air defenses intercepted 660 Ukrainian drones – the previous biggest Ukrainian attack over the past year, as Ukraine has accelerated its drone development, involving 556 drones on May 17.

In an effort to turn the tables on Russia’s grinding war of attrition, Ukrainian long-range drones have been battering oil production and energy facilities behind the front line and deep inside Russia.
