The intensifying attacks mark a major escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war, with Ukraine striking deep inside Russia while Russian forces continue targeting Ukrainian cities. Reports said St. Petersburg was among the locations hit by Ukrainian drones, while a Russian strike in Kyiv killed a woman, damaged a residential tower and hit a subway station. Additional Russian attacks reportedly killed people in western and southern Ukraine, underscoring the widening civilian impact as diplomatic efforts remain uncertain.
