Russia launched a devastating aerial campaign against Ukraine's civilian infrastructure in a single week, deploying over 2,000 kamikaze drones, 1,700 guided aerial bombs, and 19 missiles. This strategic bombardment targeted the energy grid, industrial facilities, and transport hubs in a calculated effort to dismantle the country's economic foundation before winter.

Ukraine launched one of its largest drone attacks yet on the Moscow region, with authorities intercepting over 1,600 drones, 450 of them headed for the capital. Two people were killed, a 44-year-old woman and an elderly man, in separate strikes, while a major oil refinery caught fire and a drone hit a residential building, forcing evacuations.

Firefighters battled the blaze as emergency crews rushed to both scenes. Separately, Ukraine's intelligence service revealed Russia is preparing to recruit at least 27 Yemeni nationals, some born as recently as 2006, offering legal status in exchange for military contracts to fight on the front lines.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned that Russia could launch hybrid drone and missile attacks against European countries supporting Ukraine, including Poland. Tusk said the assessment was based on intelligence and warned that any strikes could be presented as accidental. His comments come amid heightened security concerns across NATO’s eastern flank following recent Russian attacks near Poland’s border.

Russia launched a fresh wave of strikes across Ukraine, wounding at least 18 people. Kyiv's mayor reported 12 injured, including two children, while Sumy suffered a deadly guided bomb strike that killed one person. Attacks also hit Odesa. In a tit-for-tat exchange, Ukraine struck back at Russia, hitting a military airfield in Rostov-on-Don and an oil refinery in Yaroslavl, part of Kyiv's ongoing campaign against Russian energy and military infrastructure as the war grinds into its fifth year.

U.S. President Donald Trump has called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to halt strikes on Russia's diesel fuel infrastructure, warning that the attacks are "hurting the world" by driving up global fuel shortages. Speaking to reporters in Doonbeg, Ireland, Trump stated that while Ukraine can pursue other military targets, it must stop knocking out Russian diesel refineries. Trump stated that Ukraine's targeted strikes are directly triggering global diesel shortages and rising energy costs. This comes as Ukraine says Russia is destroying its railway network. Russia said Sunday it struck "railway infrastructure" in western Ukraine used to "transport military cargo" from Europe, after Poland and Ukraine said Moscow hit a Warsaw-bound passenger train and an area near the Polish border.

A train carrying Boris Johnson and the former CIA chief David Petraeus may have been the target of a Russian drone strike that hit a train engine near the Poland-Ukraine border, according to Ukrainian Railways.

Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, described the attack as “Putin’s terror knocking directly on the doors of the EU and Nato”.

Russia-Ukraine war: Ukrainian train hit near Polish border 

Russia is intensifying its drone campaign against Ukraine, with Kyiv, Odesa and other regions facing repeated attacks. A Russian drone also struck an evacuated Kyiv-Warsaw train near Ukraine's border with Poland, raising fresh concerns about the expanding reach of the aerial campaign.  
At the centre of the new threat are jet-powered Shahed-type drones, known in Russia as Gerans. Now the older Shahed-136 drones flew at roughly 180 km/h, while newer jet-powered versions have reportedly reached around 483 km/h. The higher speed reduces interception time and can force Ukraine to use more expensive air-defence systems.
