In apparent retaliation for a record-breaking overnight barrage of more than 1,000 Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow, Russian forces struck back with a wave of drone attacks across the Kyiv region. A direct hit on a warehouse complex in the Boryspil district sparked a massive fire and left at least one person injured, as local authorities reported multiple strikes hitting sites in and around the capital throughout the day.
