In a dramatic escalation of the three-year conflict, Russia fired a staggering 479 drones at Ukraine overnight—the largest single drone barrage since the war began, according to Kyiv’s air force. 💥 The attack, which also included 20 missiles, targeted central and western regions, triggering five-hour air raid alerts across the country.
Ukraine’s military claims its defenses intercepted 277 drones and 19 missiles, with only 10 reaching their targets. But the sheer scale of the assault—described as 'unprecedented'—has raised alarms globally. 🌍
The strike follows Kyiv’s June 1 attacks on Russian airbases and explosions on a key bridge in Russia, which Moscow blamed on Ukraine. Tensions are now at a boiling point, with both sides trading accusations. 🔥
While peace talks have resumed after a three-year pause, progress remains frozen beyond a prisoner exchange deal. As the digital generation watches, this conflict’s ripple effects—from energy markets to global security—continue to unfold. 📉⚡
