Russia initiates a drone attack on Ukraine

In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, Russia has launched a larger drone attack on targets in the Ukrainian hinterland. The attack occurred late last night (local time 23:00 CEST), triggering air raid alerts across multiple regions of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military reported several dozen enemy combat drones heading west, with air defense fire heard in Kyiv shortly before midnight local time. The attack targeted locations in the Ukrainian hinterland, prompting air raid alerts in more than half of Ukraine due to the threat of incoming drones.

This attack is part of a conflict that has been ongoing for nearly three and a half years, with Russia invading Ukraine. It's important to note that so far, 31 Western countries have provided military, financial, and humanitarian support to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began on February 24, 2022.

This incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing tension in the region and the need for continued international support for Ukraine. As the situation develops, updates will be provided to keep the public informed.
