Ukraine launches a large drone attack targeting sites in Russia, according to multiple reports. ABC Australia and other outlets say the strikes occur shortly after Russian strikes on Kyiv two days earlier that killed 24 people. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy frames the attacks as a response to what he describes as Russia’s continuation of the war and its attacks on Ukrainian cities and communities. National Post and the other reports add that Ukraine targets military and energy sites within Russia. The attacks are reported to kill multiple people in Moscow—four in the ABC Australia and National Post accounts, and three in the Daily Mail account—though the exact casualty figures vary by outlet. The reporting also characterizes the action as part of an apparent retaliation cycle following the Kremlin’s drone and missile activity. Zelenskyy is also described as stating that targeting within Russia is “entirely justified,” with details of the scale described as among Ukraine’s largest drone barrages. Across sources, the key points remain the timing, the stated rationale from Zelenskyy, and that the drone wave reaches targets in Russia including Moscow.
