Ukraine War Escalates as Russian Strikes Hit Kyiv and Ukrainian Drones Target Moscow Region
Russian strikes hit Kyiv and the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, where a major steel plant was damaged and two people were killed, according to Ukrainian officials. Several others were wounded in the attacks. Ukraine responded with a large scale drone assault on the Moscow region. Russian authorities said hundreds of drones were intercepted,
while an 83-year old man was killed and a major warehouse south of Moscow caught fire. The escalating strikes underscore the intensifying aerial dimension of the war, as both sides increasingly target infrastructure far from the front lines. A NATO fighter also shot down a drone that entered Romanian airspace, adding to concerns about the conflict spilling beyond Ukraine's borders.
