A drone struck a skyscraper in Moscow early Monday, shattering glass on its 17th and 18th floors, Russian officials reported. The incident comes after another night of attacks on Ukraine’s Odessa region.
Ukraine attacked Crimea with 17 drones but said most were disabled by air and electronic defenses. Three drones fell on Crimean territory, and there were no casualties, it said. The Washington Post could not independently verify the claims. Russia illegally annexed Crimea in 2014 and uses the peninsula as a base for its forces., U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said
during an interview with CNN. However, he tempered Kyiv’s inroads with warnings of a tough path ahead: “These are still relatively early days of the counteroffensive,” heRussia is putting a “renewed emphasis on military induction for children,” Britain’s Defense Ministry said , citing the move by Russian authorities to add lessons on how to operate combat drones to a forthcoming mandatory school syllabus. Thethe policy is more about cultivating “a culture of militarised patriotism” in Russia and less about teaching children to operate drones. But the focus on the unmanned aerial vehicles “does highlight how Russia has identified the use of tactical UAVs in Ukraine as an enduring component of contemporary war,” it said.
