Russia Downs Dozens of Drones Overnight; Ukraine Strikes Shuya for Second DayRussian air defense systems reportedly destroyed or intercepted 71 Ukrainian drones across six Russian regions overnight, according to a statement from Russia's Defense Ministry on Thursday. The majority of the drones—49 in total—were downed in the Kursk region, while others were intercepted in Oryol, Ryazan, Bryansk, Vladimir, and Tula regions. In a separate incident, authorities in Russia's Ivanovo region, located east of Moscow, reported that Ukrainian drones had attacked the town of Shuya, although they confirmed that no casualties or damage occurred. This marks the second consecutive night that Shuya, approximately 1,150 kilometers (715 miles) from the Ukrainian border, has been targeted. Shuya hosts a base for a Russian missile brigade, which Ukraine has accused of being responsible for a strike on the city of Sumy on Sunday that resulted in the deaths of at least 35 people.

Russian Telegram channels circulated videos that reportedly showed the military base being struck, along with at least one fire burning on its premises, though Reuters could not verify the authenticity of the footage. Additionally, in the Russian-held area of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, the management of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant—Europe's largest—reported that a Ukrainian drone was downed just 300 meters (approximately 985 feet) from the facility. The escalation of drone strikes exemplifies the ongoing intensity of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides continuing to engage in military operations amid heightened tensions. As the situation develops, international observers remain concerned about the potential implications for regional stability and security.
