Russia announced a massive overnight attack targeting Ukraine's military infrastructure, claiming strikes hit airbases and defense facilities with high-precision weapons. 💥 The Russian defense ministry stated Saturday that the operation involved land, air, and sea-based systems, adding: "All designated objectives were hit."
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials reported intercepting 510 of 537 drones and 38 of 45 missiles launched by Russia across seven locations. 🛡️ The conflicting accounts highlight the ongoing intensity of the conflict, now entering its third year.
Analysts suggest these strikes reflect Russia's strategy to degrade Ukraine's military production capacity. 🔍 With global attention divided by other crises, the escalation underscores the war's evolving dynamics—and its ripple effects on energy markets and regional security.
