Russian air defenses intercepted nearly 60 Ukrainian drones aimed at Moscow overnight, forcing the capital's airports to suspend operations temporarily. Across the country, Russian authorities reported downing just over 300 drones in total. A Russian drone attack killed three members of one family, including a 13-year-old boy, in Ukraine's northern Sumy region.
Regional prosecutors confirmed the deaths, according to Reuters.
Ukraine's president said in an interview that the country's defense industry and defense forces have begun bringing the war back to Russia. The president added that Ukraine would strike back every day and that its response would grow stronger. The comments follow discussions among G7 and EU leaders last week about the conflict.
