Russia Launches Massive Drone Assault on Ukraine, Six Dead

Russia has launched a massive daytime drone barrage across Ukraine, killing at least six people, according to multiple sources. The hours-long assault targeted multiple locations across Ukrainian territory using hundreds of unmanned systems.

The attack represents a continuation of Russia's sustained campaign of aerial bombardment against civilian and military infrastructure. Ukraine's air defences have been under constant pressure from the volume and intensity of drone strikes over recent months.

No immediate claims of responsibility for specific targets were reported, though such operations typically target energy infrastructure, transport networks, and urban centres.
