According to Gusev, it was "one of the most serious drone attacks since the start of the special military operation" on the city. The term is used by Russian officials to describe the war against Ukraine ordered by Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin almost four years ago.
Both sides in the war are also intensively shelling the hinterland of the opposing warring party, with civilian casualties occurring time and again. Ukraine is mainly using drones and targeting oil and gas industry facilities, while Russia is also using rockets and cruise missiles and firing at energy supply facilities. The extent of the destruction and the number of dead and injured in Ukraine is significantly higher than in Russia.
