The war is entering a terrifying new phase of long-range reach. Overnight, Ukrainian drones traveled a record 1,800 kilometers to strike the industrial city of Yekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains for the first time. Meanwhile, Russia launched a massive wave of over 600 drones, devastating an apartment block in Dnipro and leaving at least four dead. The chaos even spilled into NATO territory, with Romania scrambling RAF jets after drone debris hit its soil. The frontlines are no longer just in the trenches—they are everywhere.
