Russia Launches Largest Drone Attack on Ukraine Since 2022 Invasion

HeadlineNov 26, 2024

Russia’s military says it has captured the village of Kopanky in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region, adding to Russian forces’ largest advances in Ukraine since the early days of the 2022 invasion. Overnight, most of Ukraine’s territory was under air raid alerts as Russia launched its largest drone attack of the war. In the city of Kharkiv, a Russian missile attack injured 23 people, causing fires and widespread damage to residential buildings. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones reportedly hit a fuel depot in the Russian region of Kaluga more than 100 miles from Ukraine’s border. This comes as the independent Russian news outlet Mediazona and the BBC Russian Service reported the number of Russian soldiers who have died in Ukraine has topped 78,000 — though the journalists estimate the true toll could be double that number. A similar analysis found 65,000 Ukrainian combat deaths.
