Ukraine has unleashed a huge barrage of 660 drones in a major nighttime attack across Russia in the latest humiliation for Vladimir Putin.
It appeared to be one of the biggest drone attacks on Russia and the illegally annexed Crimea since Moscow‘s full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than four years ago.
The previous biggest Ukrainian attack over the past year was 556 drones on May 17.
In an effort to turn the tables on Russia’s grinding war of attrition, Ukrainian long-range drones have for months been battering targets, including oil production and energy facilities, behind the front line and deep inside Russia.
