Ukraine Strikes Deep into Russia: Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk Targeted

Ukrainian forces conducted drone strikes against Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk Oblast, and Chelyabinsk City — approximately 1,600–1,700 kilometers from the international border — marking some of Ukraine's longest-range drone strikes against Russia in the war. The strikes demonstrated Ukraine's growing deep-strike capability using domestically developed long-range drones, reaching into Russia's industrial Ural region for the first time.
