The Defense Ministry in Moscow says Ukraine launched a major nighttime drone attack on Russian regions, Crimea, and surrounding seas. It is one of Kyiv's biggest assaults since the Kremlin's invasion over four years ago. Russian air defenses intercepted 660 Ukrainian drones. Ukrainian long-range drones have been targeting oil and energy facilities, disrupting Russian fuel supplies and military deliveries. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy hinted at a "40-day influence operation" to compel Russia to end the war. Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Ukraine's Kharkiv region killed three civilians and wounded 20 others, according to Ukrainian officials.
