Russian forces conducted large-scale attacks on Ukrainian military infrastructure overnight, according to a Saturday statement from Moscow's defense ministry. The operation reportedly targeted airbases and defense production facilities using land, air, and sea-based precision weaponry.
"All designated objectives were hit," the ministry declared, characterizing the strikes as successful. The announcement comes amid escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict between the neighboring states.
Ukrainian authorities reported intercepting 510 of 537 drones and 38 of 45 missiles launched during the assault. Seven locations across Ukraine were targeted, though specific damage assessments remain undisclosed.
This development marks one of the most intensive aerial campaigns in recent months, highlighting evolving military strategies and technological deployment in modern warfare. Analysts suggest such strikes could impact both immediate battlefield dynamics and long-term defense production capabilities.
