A dramatic escalation in drone and missile warfare has gripped both Russia and Ukraine, with record numbers of attacks reported on cities including Kyiv, Odesa, and Moscow.
Russia has intensified its nightly drone swarms and missile barrages, causing civilian casualties, infrastructure damage, and widespread fear, while Ukraine has ramped up retaliatory drone strikes that have disrupted Moscow's airports and targeted key Russian sites. The surge in aerial assaults comes as both sides prepare for high-level peace talks, but hopes for progress remain dim as leaders signal entrenched positions. Western allies, including the UK and EU, are increasing sanctions and military support for Ukraine, but the conflict shows no sign of abating.
Civilians on both sides are bearing the brunt of the violence, with frequent air raid sirens, sleepless nights, and mounting destruction.
