Russia launches Ukraine war's largest drone attack

Ukraine's military launched what has been described as the largest drone assault on Russian territory since March.
One of the biggest barrages of the war targeted 10 Russian regions, including Moscow, according to the Ministry of Defense, but it was not clear how much damage the attack did.
The barrage comes ahead of a planned call between Presidents Trump and Putin on Monday, as the US pushes for a ceasefire.
Ukraine pioneered the use of small drones on the battlefield. But in Russia’s Kursk region, Moscow’s fiber-optic cables helped turn the tide.
Russia and Ukraine have no direct peace talks scheduled, the Kremlin said Thursday, nearly a week after their first face-to-face session since shortly after Moscow’s invasion in 2022 and days after U.S. President Donald Trump said they would start ceasefire negotiations “immediately.”
