Ukraine launches one of its largest drone attacks on Russian territory and occupied Crimea.
Russian air defenses intercepted 660 Ukrainian drones in a major overnight attack targeting 12 Russian regions and the Crimean peninsula. The assault, one of the largest of the war, coincided with President Zelenskyy's announcement of a "40-day influence operation" aimed at forcing Russia to negotiate. Russian and Ukrainian forces also completed a prisoner exchange of 160 detainees from each side.
