Russian forces hit Kyiv for a sixth straight day, while NATO conducted operations around Kaliningrad amidst reports of secret Russian drone bases near NATO borders.

A sixth consecutive day of Russian aerial attacks on Kyiv and surrounding areas has killed four people and injured 15 others, prompting air raid alerts across much of Ukraine.

In response to growing regional tensions, US-led NATO forces executed military exercises around Russia's Kaliningrad enclave. The maneuvers involved American and Norwegian fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, and Polish army units. NATO described the actions as routine measures to enhance defensive capabilities. Simultaneously, NATO Baltic Air Policing jets scrambled in Latvia, while Finland imposed traffic restrictions along its Russian border.

Additionally, a British media investigation reported that Russia has established ten covert military sites near NATO borders. According to the report, these locations house launchpads for advanced kamikaze drones, several of which have already been deployed against Ukrainian targets.
