Massive Russian drone attack hits western Ukraine near NATO borders, kills at least six civilians

Russia launched one of its most extensive and prolonged drone attacks on Ukraine, deploying more than 800 drones that primarily targeted areas in western Ukraine near the NATO border. The assault resulted in at least six civilian deaths. The attack represents one of the longest-duration drone operations Russia has conducted since the conflict began, focusing particularly on regions close to NATO member countries. The scale and geographic focus of the attack underscores Russia's continued targeting of Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and its willingness to conduct operations near the borders of Western military alliance members.
