The war in Ukraine has entered a new phase marked by a fierce exchange of aerial assaults between Ukrainian and Russian forces. As Russia continues to make territorial gains in the Donbas region, Ukraine has launched a series of drone attacks on crucial Russian military targets, signaling a shift in tactics aimed at disrupting Moscow’s military operations.

A notable incident occurred on Wednesday, when a drone attack by Ukraine triggered a massive explosion at a Russian armory in Tver, leading to the evacuation of a nearby town. The scale of the explosion was so significant that it registered as an earthquake, with satellite images showing a large fire and smoke plume. This attack is part of a broader Ukrainian strategy to target Russian military infrastructure, particularly command and control centers.

In response, Russian forces have intensified their strikes on Ukraine’s military communication facilities and energy infrastructure, claiming to have hit key targets in Kharkiv and other cities. The Kremlin maintains that its operations are aimed at crippling Ukrainian military capabilities, especially as winter approaches. Meanwhile, Ukraine has ramped up its drone production, employing unmanned systems to penetrate deeper into Russian territory, targeting energy resources to disrupt Moscow’s supply chain.
