The Russian Defense Ministry said Saturday morning that its forces are conducting intensive airstrikes on targets in Ukraine, using precision-guided munitions and drones. The announcement, made via an official statement, did not specify the scope of the operation or the targets hit.
The statement comes amid a prolonged period of cross-border strikes. In recent weeks, The Zioneer has reported multiple large-scale Ukrainian drone and missile attacks on Russian territory, including a reported strike on hundreds of targets in Moscow on July 18, and a Russian claim of intercepting 660 drones on June 26. Ukraine has also struck energy infrastructure and military facilities in several regions.
Details of the new Russian offensive remain unclear, including whether it marks a significant escalation or a continuation of existing operations. No independent confirmation of the scale or impact of the strikes was available.
