Over the past day, tensions between Russia and Ukraine have continued to escalate as both sides engaged in drone strikes against each other. According to local authorities on Sunday, the attacks have not let up.
Ukrainian Governor Vitaly Kim reported that a hotel and an energy facility in the southern city of Mykolaiv were targeted. While the extent of the damage is still being assessed, Governor Kim confirmed that there were no casualties.
The Ukrainian Air Force stated that Russia used four Shahed-131/136 drones, also known as "kamikaze" drones, along with five other unknown drones. Fortunately, officials were able to shoot down four of the Shahed drones and one other drone.
However, the intensity of the Russian air attacks was not as severe as the previous day, when multiple rockets, cruise missiles, and combat drones struck various targets in Ukraine.
On the other side, the Russian Defence Ministry in Moscow reported that they had shot down 17 Ukrainian drones near the border on Sunday night. It is important to note that DPA, an independent news agency, has not been able to verify the details of these strikes from either side.
In the Russian region of Kaluga, Governor Vladislav Shapsha stated that three Ukrainian drones were intercepted near a fuel depot. This is just one example of the ongoing conflict between the two countries, as Ukraine has been fending off a potential full-scale invasion from Russia for over two years.
As the attacks continue, Ukraine has expanded the capabilities of its own combat drones and is also targeting Russian refineries and fuel facilities in response to the Russian airstrikes. Both sides are engaging in aggressive tactics, and it is unclear when or how this conflict will ultimately be resolved.
