Russian drone attacks dip in intensity after three nights of massive bombardment
Russia launched 60 drones at Ukraine overnight, injuring several people, officials in Kyiv said on Tuesday, indicating a sharp decrease in the intensity of Moscow's attacks after it conducted three nights of massive aerial bombardment. The earlier attacks - which the Ukrainian Air Force said included a record barrage of 355 drones on Sunday night - prompted US President Donald Trump to say that Russian President Vladimir Putin had 'gone absolutely CRAZY' and threaten sanctions. The air force said Russia's latest drone attack hit targets in nine locations and used 60 drones. A 17-year-old boy was among 10 people who were injured overnight and early on Tuesday, officials said. 'Air defense forces were working during the night in Dnipropetrovsk,' Serhiy Lysak, governor of the central-eastern region, said on the Telegram messaging app. The latter attack sparked a fire in a private house and an outbuilding in one district and destroyed an agricultural enterprise, a private house and a car in another, he said. A 59-year-old man was injured in a morning drone attack on the southern city of Kherson, the military administration said, while in a separate drone attack close to 8 a.m. (0500 GMT), six city employees were injured. The city regularly comes under Russian shelling and drone attacks. In the northeastern city of Sumy, a drone strike sparked a fire in a building of an industrial enterprise. An airstrike damaged at least seven private and one two-storey buildings and cars in another area, the military administration said. There were no casualties, it added. Russia, which began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, did not immediately comment on the reports. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly called for the West to step up sanctions pressure on Russia to force it to accept the need for peace.

A later airstrike damaged at least seven private and one two-storey buildings and cars in another area, the military administration said. There were no casualties, it added. Russia, which began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, did not immediately comment on the reports. Meanwhile, the governor of Ukraine's Sumy region on the Russian border said yesterday that Russian forces had captured four villages as part of an attempt to create a "buffer zone" on Ukrainian territory. Russia's military and Russian military bloggers have in recent days reported captured villages in Sumy, which has come under frequent Russian air strikes for months. Sumy Region Governor Oleh Hryhorov, writing on Facebook, listed four villages inside the border that he said were now held by Russian forces - Novenke, Basivka, Veselivka and Zhuravka. He said their residents had long been evacuated. "The enemy is continuing attempts to advance with the aim of setting up a so-called 'buffer zone,'" he wrote. Ukrainian forces, he said, "are keeping the situation under control, inflicting precise fire damage on the enemy". Mr Hryhorov said fighting was continuing around other villages in the area, including Volodymyrivka and Bilovodiv - two settlements that Russia's Defence Ministry had earlier said were now held by Moscow's forces. Russian reports in recent days had said that Moscow's forces had taken control of villages in the region. Ukraine's State Emergency Services reported that one person was killed when Russian forces shelled an area of Sumy region west of the captured villages. Sumy region is opposite Russia's Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces launched a large cross-border incursion last August. Moscow says Ukrainian troops have been ousted from Kursk, but Kyiv says its forces are still active there. Ukraine's popular military blog Deep State had said at the weekend that Russian forces had for the first time "been able to take up positions" along a line of border villages. A Russian missile strike on the region's main city, also called Sumy, killed 35 people on Palm Sunday last month. Deep State on Monday said Russian forces had launched attacks further east near Vovchansk in Kharkiv region, where it had launched an earlier incursion in May 2024.
