As Ukrainian drones strike deep into Russian territory, they are disrupting day-to-day life and reminding Russians that the war is not confined to the trenches.

Ukraine’s capital came under a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack overnight and into early Saturday that left at least 15 people injured, according to Ukrainian officials. Explosions and machine gun fire were heard throughout Kyiv as many sought shelter in subway stations.

Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed a large-scale missile and drone strike on a military-industrial site in Kiev that manufactures drones and missiles. The attack also targeted a radar surveillance center and a US-made Patriot air defense system.

Ukraine's military launched what has been described as the largest drone assault on Russian territory since March.

The Kremlin that its air defenses shot down 485 drones across 14 regions in its control. Several reports indicate other drones found their targets.
