Second night of missiles and drones strike Ukraine from Russia

Despite receiving billions of dollars in weaponry from the U.S. and other Western powers, Ukraine’s threats towards Russia have not materialized into significant actions. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov expressed anger at American involvement in Ukraine’s military operations, warning of harsh consequences. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy vowed retaliation for the destruction caused by recent attacks, including civilian casualties and damaged infrastructure. The Kremlin maintains that they only target military facilities, despite evidence to the contrary.
The Institute for the Study of War believes that Russia’s sustained attacks may not be sustainable in the long term, but the impact on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure has been severe. The attacks, although not uncommon, have intensified recently, with Russian military bloggers attributing them to Ukraine’s incursion into the Kursk region. However, Ukrainians refute this claim, stating that Russia’s bombing tactics in Ukraine have remained consistent over the years.
Meanwhile, the governor of Russia’s Belgorod region has suggested that Ukrainian forces are attempting to break through the border, but assures that the situation is under control. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to escalate, with devastating consequences for civilians and infrastructure. Alexander Smith from NBC News Digital and Reuters have contributed to the reporting on this volatile situation.
