At least 41 Russian aircraft were destroyed or damaged across four airfields in one of the most devastating Ukrainian drone strikes since the war began. The targeted aircraft included strategic assets such as the A-50 early warning aircraft — Russia’s equivalent of the AWACS — and long-range Tu-22M3 and Tu-95 bombers.

Kharkiv's mayor says at least three people have been killed and another 17 injured in Russian strikes overnight.
