Ukrainian Drone Strike

A drone believed to be operated by Ukraine caused damage at a military air base hundreds of miles into Russian territory, according to reports yesterday. It marked the second attack in the past month against the base, which acts as the primary staging area for Russian bombers used in the war with Ukraine.

While the drone did not successfully detonate—air defense at the base shot it down, with the debris killing three troops—analysts say it demonstrated Ukraine's ability to reach key targets beyond its borders.

In related news, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said yesterday the country would push for a peace summit by the end of February, but also said direct talks with Russia would only proceed if Russia first faced a war crimes tribunal.
