Ukraine Drone Strikes Hit Deep Inside Russia, Raising Stakes in War

Ukraine's drone attacks on Russian air bases have caused significant damage and raised concerns about the escalation of the conflict. Footage from AFP shows large fires and smoke plumes rising from Engels-2 air base in Saratov, home to Russia's most powerful nuclear-capable bombers, and Diaghilev air base near Moscow. The attacks mark a significant escalation in the war, demonstrating Ukraine's ability to strike deep into Russian territory. 'This is a clear sign of Ukraine's growing military capabilities,' said a military analyst. The attacks raise questions about the security of Russia's nuclear arsenal and the potential for further escalation of the conflict. The incident underscores the ongoing intensity of the war and the evolving tactics being employed by both sides.
