The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Ukraine launched nearly 800 drones at Russia, with the Moscow region a main target, in one of Kyiv’s largest long-range attacks since Russia’s full-scale invasion and its second major salvo in three days. A Russian missile strike on a village in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region killed at least 10 people and wounded eight. Russian authorities reported a drone strike near the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant killed one nuclear specialist and wounded 17. Moscow warned the U.K. of consequences for supplying drones; Andy Burnham said British support for Ukraine would continue.
