Ukrainian drones reach Yekaterinburg

Ukrainian drones have attacked two major cities in Russia's Ural Mountains, Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk, marking a significant extension of Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities. In an interview with Russian media, Major General Vladimir Popov outlined three possible theories for the origin of the drones. He suggested they could have been launched from neighboring Kazakhstan, from within Russian regions like Orenburg, or from Ukrainian border regions, though he considered the latter theory least likely due to payload limitations. The attacks represent a major escalation in Ukraine's ability to strike deep into Russian territory.
