Episode Details

Nineteen dead in a brutal weekend of drone and missile strikes across Russia and Ukraine, sparking fears of a new escalation as both sides unleash long-range attacks that have surged civilian casualties to crisis levels. In Russia, swarms of drones slammed into residential zones, killing five in Rostov and triggering panic across Belgorod, Kursk, and Moscow — where officials called it the most massive drone assault in recent memory, with over 800 intercepted. Meanwhile, Ukraine endured devastating blows: a steel plant in President Zelensky’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih was hit twice, killing three and forcing partial shutdowns; Kyiv’s beloved outdoor book market burned to the ground, destroying four stalls. Zelensky condemned the relentless targeting of civilians and begged allies for more air defenses. As Ukraine ramps up strikes on Russian supply lines, neighboring Romania also reported a drone intercepted in its airspace — underscoring how this war is spreading beyond borders.
