Ukrainian forces conducted a long-range drone strike on June 15th in Russia’s Tatarstan region, over 1,000 km from the border. -While Russian officials claimed the target was an automobile plant, Ukraine’s General Staff and OSINT analysts assert the strike was aimed at a key facility in Yelabuga that produces Shahed-type attack drones

In a nighttime attack, Russian drones targeted Ukraine's Kharkiv, killing three and injuring 64. The assault comes amid increased retaliatory strikes by Moscow following recent Ukrainian attacks. Southern regions faced blackouts as energy facilities were hit.

The strikes, which Ukrainian officials have not formally commented on, appear to be part of a growing strategy to cripple Moscow’s logistical and military capabilities through precise, behind-the-lines drone warfare.
