Ukrainian drones targeted two military bases inside Russia on Monday, including one that has been involved in launching strikes against Ukraine, The New York Times reports.
The bases are hundreds of miles inside Russia, and one of the airfields houses bombers with the ability to carry nuclear weapons, The Associated Press reports. The Kremlin said it intercepted the Ukrainian drones and "the fall and explosion of the wreckage" had "slightly damaged" two planes and killed three service members.
