Russia and Ukraine have significantly escalated their aerial attacks against each other.

In retaliation, Ukraine launched 389 drones at 13 Russian regions and Russia — Crimea, causing a fire in the Russia — Ust-Luga port and damaging energy infrastructure in Russia — Belgorod Oblast. These attacks highlight Ukraine's growing long-range drone capabilities and the ongoing intensity of the conflict. The United States' attention is reportedly diverted by the Iran war, affecting US-mediated talks.
