Air strikes hit Ukraine and Russia as NATO maneuvers near Kaliningrad

Cross-border drone and missile strikes have intensified between Russia and Ukraine, while NATO forces conducted maneuvers near Kaliningrad.
Following recent diplomatic visits to Kyiv, military escalation has continued across Eastern Europe. Russian ballistic missile strikes against Kyiv killed at least two people and injured six, while earlier drone attacks damaged an industrial complex in northern Ukraine. In response, Ukrainian drones targeted Russia's Saratov region, resulting in several injuries.
Meanwhile, US-led NATO forces engaged in maneuvers around Russia's Kaliningrad enclave involving Norwegian fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, and Polish ground forces. NATO representatives stated that the defensive alliance continuously works to improve its operational capabilities.
Additionally, an investigation revealed that Russia established ten covert bases near NATO borders equipped with launch facilities for advanced long-range drones, some of which are already being utilized for aerial attacks against Ukraine.
