Ukraine launched a massive drone assault on Russia, downing over 40 military aircraft, including Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers, according to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). The attack targeted a military unit in Sredny, Irkutsk, and explosions were reported near Olenya Air Base, Murmansk. No casualties were immediately reported. This strike follows Russia's recent record-breaking aerial attack on Ukraine, which killed 13 civilians. The incident underscores escalating tensions as peace talks remain stalled and the US pushes for a 30-day ceasefire. If confirmed, the Olenya hit marks one of the most strategic strikes on Russian military infrastructure since the war began. (Pc: India Today)
