Russia launched a devastating wave of missile strikes on Kyiv and Mykolaiv after Ukraine unleashed drone attacks across Russian military and industrial hubs.
Explosions rocked both nations in an explosive two‑day escalation, including a drone strike that shut down the crucial Central Asia–Center gas pipeline in Volgograd—vital for Russia’s military energy needs.
Ukraine targeted facilities like the Elektropribor plant in Penza and a Shahed-drone airbase in Primorsko-Akhtarsk.
Moscow scrambled quickly, intercepting 112 Ukrainian drones and responding with 53 of its own.
The retaliation struck civilian zones, reducing homes in Mykolaiv to rubble and seriously wounding several.
This sharp escalation follows a Russian drone assault on Kyiv that killed 31 people just hours earlier.
With energy infrastructure crippled and cities ablaze, the tit-for-tat violence underscores how the Ukraine war threatens to spiral across borders—bringing military escalation and civilian suffering to new heights.
