Russian forces struck Kyiv with ballistic missiles and Ukrainian drones targeted Saratov, while NATO conducted maneuvers near Kaliningrad.

Tensions between Moscow and Kyiv have escalated following fresh military actions after the departure of American envoys from Kyiv. Ukrainian officials reported at least two deaths and six injuries in Kyiv following overnight Russian ballistic missile strikes, which also damaged a commercial facility. Concurrently, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russia’s Saratov region, causing casualties.

In parallel, US-led NATO forces conducted operations near the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. NATO representatives characterized the maneuvers as routine defensive readiness measures. Additionally, media investigations revealed Moscow has established ten covert launch sites near NATO borders deploying advanced drones against Ukraine, with operational range extending into alliance territory.
