Russia says that it downed more than 150 drones in a Ukrainian attack

U.S. drone strikes in the Donetsk region during the weekend night of 900 days of conflict between Ukraine and the Kremlin

The governor of Kharkiv and the local officials said one person was killed and four wounded in shelling overnight. On Sunday, 28 more were wounded when Russia shelled the regional capital, also called Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said.

Russian air defenses intercepted 158 Ukrainian drones during the night from Saturday to Sunday, including two over Moscow and nine over the surrounding region, the Defense Ministry said.

The fight has brought it far from the front line into the heart of Russia. Since the beginning of the year, Ukraine has stepped up aerial assaults on Russian soil, targeting refineries and oil terminals to slow down the Kremlin’s assault.

Meanwhile, Russia’s Defense Ministry said Sunday it had taken control of the towns of Pivnichne and Vyimka, in Ukraine’s Donetsk region. The claim was not verified by the Associated Press.

After more than 900 days of war, the two sides show no sign of letting up in the fight or moving closer to the negotiating table. The two sides are pursuing ambitious ground offensives, with the Ukrainians driving into Russia’s Kursk region and the Russian army pushing deeper into the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.

An explosion also rang out in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, according to Ukrainian media. Oleh Syniehubov said that there was an early morning strike in the industrialnyi district that set a residential building and several others on fire.

There will be an answer for everything. Following the attack the head of thepresidential office, Andrii Yermak, wrote on his Telegram page “the enemy will feel it.”

Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said emergency services were called to the Holosiivskyi and Solomianskyi districts. There was an injured person in the Shevchenkivskyi district.

Both sides are battering each other with regular long-range drone and missile strikes, sometimes launching more than 100 weapons in aerial attacks that suggest they are still pouring resources into weapon production.
