KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine sent waves of drones deep into western Russia in more than four hours of nighttime attacks that struck military assets, Russian officials and media reports said Wednesday.
Aerial attacks on Russia have escalated recently as Ukraine pursues a counteroffensive. Kyiv increasingly targets Russia’s military assets behind the front lines in eastern and southern Ukraine. Pskov Gov. Mikhail Vedernikov ordered all flights to and from the airport canceled for the day to assess damage, which he later said was not major, adding that normal operations would resume Thursday.
Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s minister of digital transformation, said his country has drones with a range of up to 300 miles, although he did not take responsibility for any attacks in Russia or Crimea, the peninsula that Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014. “Putting air defense systems there means you can’t put them somewhere else,” he told AP. “This draws on Russian capability.”
Two security guards, aged 26 and 36, were killed and another person was injured by falling debris, said Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s military administration, posting on Telegram.
