Explosions rocked the Russian industrial city of Novomoskovsk as Ukrainian drones struck deep inside the Tula region, roughly 300 km from the border. Residents reported more than ten blasts as air defences scrambled to intercept incoming UAVs.

Russia battered Ukraine overnight with its largest drone attack since the war began, Ukraine’s military said Sunday, ahead of an expected phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on ending hostilities.
