Ukraine Mounts Second Straight Night of Mass Drone Strikes on Russia

In the Nizhny Novgorod region east of Moscow, Governor Gleb Nikitin said 30 drones were downed over an “industrial zone” in the town of Dzerzhinsk.
“Some debris landed on the premises of one enterprise, but no significant harm was caused to industrial infrastructure,” Nikitin wrote in a post on Telegram. A day earlier, he reported an attack involving 20 drones.
