Nearly 60 Ukrainian drones were intercepted heading for Moscow last night, forcing the capital's airports to briefly suspend operations. Russia reported downing over 300 drones across the country in total.
Civilian Casualties in Sumy
Meanwhile, a Russian drone attack killed three members of one family, including a 13-year-old boy, in Ukraine's northern Sumy region, regional prosecutors said, as quoted by Reuters.
Zelenskyy's Pledge
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview that "our defence industry, our defence forces … have begun the process of bringing the war back to Russia." He added, "The Russians are attacking us every day – and we will strike back every day. Our response will grow stronger with each passing day." This marks a shift in momentum, as discussed by G7 and EU leaders last week.
