Putin’s Missiles TORCH Kyiv, Mykolaiv; Russia’s Revenge As Ukraine Drone Attack ‘SHUTS’ Gas Pipeline

Russia has launched retaliatory missile strikes on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv and the southern city of Mykolaiv following a deadly Ukrainian drone offensive that reportedly hit key Russian military and energy infrastructure. Explosions rocked both nations over two days of intense escalation, including an attack that shut down the Central Asia-Center gas pipeline. Ukraine’s drones are believed to have struck a military airfield storing Iranian-built Shahed drones and the Elektropribor defence company in Penza. Meanwhile, Moscow claims to have intercepted 112 Ukrainian drones and responded with 53 of its own. The tit-for-tat attacks came just hours after Ukraine mourned 31 dead in a Russian drone strike in Kyiv.
