Hundreds of Ukrainian drones target Russia in deadly overnight strikes, 13 killed
Russia said it intercepted 456 Ukrainian drones in overnight attacks targeting around 15 regions, including Tatarstan in central Russia and annexed Crimea. The strikes hit industrial and civilian sites, leaving at least 13 people dead and 75 wounded, according to local authorities.
Russia said it came under a large-scale overnight drone assault launched by Ukraine, with the country's Defense Ministry reporting that 456 drones were intercepted across roughly 15 regions, including Tatarstan in central Russia and the annexed Crimean peninsula.
Local authorities said the strikes hit both industrial facilities and civilian areas, leaving at least 13 people dead and 75 wounded. The scale of the operation marks one of the most extensive Ukrainian drone campaigns against Russian territory since the war began.
Ukraine has not issued an official statement on the strikes. The overnight assault underscores how the conflict continues to extend well beyond the front line, with little indication that regional tensions will ease in the near term.
