Russia and Ukraine exchange strikes following US envoy departures, as NATO conducts drills near Kaliningrad and reports reveal Russian drone launch sites near alliance borders.

Recent cross-border strikes between Russian and Ukrainian forces have intensified following the departure of American envoys from Kyiv. An overnight Russian ballistic missile attack on the Ukrainian capital resulted in at least two fatalities and six injuries, following earlier damage to a commercial British American Tobacco facility. In response, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russia's Saratov region, causing several casualties.

Concurrently, US-led NATO forces engaged in coordinated military exercises near the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad involving American, Norwegian, and Polish units alongside surveillance aircraft. NATO described these maneuvers as standard defensive readiness efforts. Meanwhile, a media investigation revealed that Moscow has constructed ten covert launch installations near NATO frontiers. These facilities reportedly deploy advanced kamikaze drones currently targeting Ukraine, with potential range extending into alliance territory.
