Russian forces unleashed a major overnight offensive, hitting defense and energy sites in Kiev and nearby areas. The Defense Ministry said it was payback for Kiev's recent hits on Russian civilian infrastructure . Long-range,high-precision weapons were used — land, air,sea-based systems and drones all in play.
Defense industry targets and energy installations in capital took the brunt. And military airfields in Dnepropetrovsk,Poltava,Cherkassy,Chernigov,and Kiev regions were also hit hard. Ministry called these strikes necessary to counter "terrorist attacks" from Kiev regime.
This flare-up comes after a series of clashes,each side blaming the other for risking civilian lives. Russian military's latest move shows just how tense things remain. Retaliatory strikes keep coming from both sides .
As this unfolds, the world watches closely, worried about the humanitarian fallout from these military actions. What will this mean for peace efforts…?
