1. Kremlin says Ukrainian drones hit two Russian air bases

Ukrainian drones struck two Russian air bases hundreds of miles inside the country, the Kremlin said Monday. Russia's defense ministry said three of its service members were killed in a strike at a base in Ryazan, southeast of Moscow. The other facility, the Engels-2 air base near the southwestern city of Saratov, houses Russian strategic bombers and has served as a launch point for attacks on Ukraine's power grid. Ukraine didn't confirm it was responsible, but Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, tweeted: "If something is launched into other countries' airspace, sooner or later unknown flying objects will return to departure point." Shortly after the attacks, Russia launched more airstrikes into Ukraine.
