In a significant escalation, Russia executed its largest drone assault on Ukraine, sending 479 self-detonating drones, with most being intercepted by Ukraine's air defenses. The attack coincided with a prisoner exchange involving hundreds of soldiers. Ukrainian officials reported injuries and damage, particularly in the Rivne region. Although the strike on Monday caused comparatively less destruction than Friday's extensive bombardment, it highlighted ongoing tensions, as Russian forces claimed advancements in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Ukraine's military officials refuted these claims, indicating persistent misinformation about the situation on the ground.
The sudden influx of airstrikes and missile bombardments reflects Russia's continuous effort to maintain military pressure while also engaging in a significant prisoner exchange with Ukraine.
While Ukraine successfully intercepted a significant number of Russian drones, the recent attack still highlights the persistent threat posed by Russian military operations across various fronts.
