🔴 Ukraine launched hundreds of drones across Russia in one of the largest aerial attacks of the war, killing at least six people, according to Russian officials cited by the Associated Press. Five deaths were reported in Rostov Oblast and one in the Moscow region.
Russian authorities said more than 150 drones were involved in the attack on Rostov Oblast, where homes and a railway station were damaged. Russia's Defense Ministry said it destroyed 822 Ukrainian drones overnight, a claim that could not be independently verified in full.
The attack followed a series of Ukrainian strikes aimed at Russian energy and industrial sites. On August 13, Ukrainian officials said drones hit the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat refinery complex in Bashkortostan, about 1,300 kilometers from Ukraine's border. 🛩️
