Ukraine and Russia Exchange Overnight Drone Barrages Across Broad Front
—Ukraine and Russia traded major drone barrages overnight, with Ukrainian strikes targeting Russian energy infrastructure and arms depots while Russian drones struck Kyiv and the southern city of Mykolaiv, sparking fires. Three people were killed in the cross-border exchanges. Ukraine's drone campaign has increasingly focused on severing Russian fuel supply lines into Crimea, with Kyiv aiming to isolate the occupied peninsula by air. Russia's overnight barrages continued a pattern of mass drone launches against civilian infrastructure. Front-line drone kill zones have widened to 50 kilometers, effectively creating a no-man's-land that has ground conventional advances to a halt.
