Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which he expected to end in a swift victory, has suffered one of its biggest setbacks in four years after Kyiv launched its largest drone attack yet across a dozen Russian regions.
On Friday, Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed its air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 660 Ukrainian drones overnight. The attacks prompted authorities in Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula controlled by Russia, to declare a state of emergency.
The barrage is the latest in a series of long-range Ukrainian strikes this month that have pushed the war deeper into Russian territory, raising the stakes for Moscow and bringing the conflict home to civilians far from the front lines.
