MOSCOW: Ukraine struck Russian regions with a massive drone attack and with US-made ATACMS missiles overnight, according to Russian Telegram channels and pro-Russian war bloggers.

“The enemy has organized a massive combined strike on the territory of the Russian regions,” the Two Majors war blogger said.
The Russian defence ministry, which reports on such attacks, made no immediate comment. Reuters was unable to immediately confirm the reports.
