Russia and Ukraine exchanged unprecedented drone attacks over the weekend. Ukraine carried out its broadest drone attack on Moscow, firing more than 30 drones, per Russian officials, wounding one person, and temporarily forcing three airports to shut down. Russia fired 145 drones into Ukraine, per Ukrainian officials—an unprecedented number for a single night.
The news comes as UK's defense minister says Russia suffered its highest number of casualties from the war last month, averaging 1,500 Russian soldiers killed or wounded daily, and bringing the number of Russian casualties to roughly 700,000 people. The news comes as around 50,000 Russian and North Korean soldiers amassed in Russia's Kursk region, per US and Ukrainian officials, and as Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a mutual defense treaty with North Korea into law Saturday.
A Russian counteroffensive to retake Ukrainian-seized territory in Kursk is expected in the coming days. See war updates here.
