Ukraine launches nearly 1,200 drones at Russian targets, described as one of its largest aerial attacks since Russia’s full-scale invasion began nearly five years ago. The reporting says the strikes occur overnight and affect areas along the long front line in eastern and southeastern Ukraine, with Ukraine also using drones and ground robots for defence.

Several outlets also link the attack to wider diplomatic efforts. The Hindu, PBS NewsHour, and Globe and Mail frame the drone barrage alongside U.S.-led discussions about European security, and the Globe and Mail summary highlights a point attributed to Kushner that Russia agrees to include Europe in upcoming talks after previously insisting Europe should be excluded.

Other outlets focus more directly on the attack itself and its scale. The New York Post emphasises it as one of the biggest aerial attacks since the invasion, while The West Australian and PerthNow underline that Russia and Ukraine report severe drone attacks on multiple cities, with multiple casualties, without detailing the diplomatic dimension.
