Drones Strike Ukraine’s Heartland | Denver News

Russian drones strike a shopping mall in Ukraine’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih, killing 15 and injuring over 130—including 23 children—sparking Zelenskyy’s fury and vows of retaliation. Across Ukraine, Friday’s wave of attacks claimed 21 lives, with deadly strikes also hitting Kharkiv and Mykolaiv. Ukraine’s air force downed 100 of 135 Russian drones but struggles without critical Patriot systems. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones retaliate inside Russia, targeting Belgorod and an oil refinery in Perm, as Moscow claims to intercept hundreds of incoming drones. With little battlefield progress, both sides escalate drone warfare, hoping to pressure the other into peace. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
