Russia launches intense drone and missile attack on Ukraine, killing 11

Russia launched its most intense drone and missile attack on Ukraine in three months, targeting energy infrastructure and civilian areas. A missile strike in Sumy hit an apartment building, killing at least 11 people, including two children. In response to the attack, the U.S. approved the use of long-range missiles for Ukraine, allowing strikes on Russian territory. This is the second time Washington has permitted such actions, following earlier approvals for shorter-range weapons. Ukraine also conducted drone strikes inside Russia, targeting regions like Kursk and Izhevsk. The violence has increased as winter approaches, raising concerns about energy supply and humanitarian issues in the region.
