Russia and Ukraine escalate missile and drone strikes following recent missile test
Russia and Ukraine have increased missile and drone strikes against each other, following Russia's recent missile test on Dnipro. Ukraine reported nearly 1,500 Russian strikes since Sunday, resulting in numerous injuries across various regions. Ukraine's military targeted an oil depot near Moscow, causing explosions and a fire. Russian officials reported that debris from intercepted drones caused damage at an industrial site. Both sides have conducted attacks in border regions, with Ukraine using US-supplied missiles for the first time. Russia continues to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure as winter approaches. The conflict has escalated since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, with both nations seeking advantages ahead of potential changes in US leadership.
