Ukraine launched a major drone attack on Sunday, hitting five Russian airbases. Over 40 aircraft, including nuclear-capable bombers, were damaged. The attack, called Operation "Pavutyna" or "Spider Web", targeted bases in deep Russian regions like Murmansk and Irkutsk. Russia confirmed fires on some planes but reported no casualties. This marks the first such strike in Siberia. Ukrainian sources said the plan took a year and used drones hidden in trucks. The attack comes just before peace talks in Istanbul. Ukraine says the goal was to weaken Russia’s long-range weapons. Both sides are set to meet for fresh talks on Monday. (PC: X/ @RT_com)
