Ukraine launched massive kamikaze drone attacks targeting Russia's Leningrad region and the Moscow region late yesterday, with reports also indicating expected missile strikes against military facilities in St. Petersburg and a potential strike on the Druzhba oil pipeline. Concurrently, the U.S. State Department approved an $825 million military sale of air-delivered munitions to Ukraine, including thousands of Extended Range Attack Munitions, to bolster its defense capabilities against Russian aggression. The drone attacks towards the Leningrad and Moscow regions were described as massive by Russian monitoring channels, which also expressed panic regarding a potential large-scale missile strike against military facilities in St. Petersburg overnight. Separately, reports claimed a strike on the Druzhba oil pipeline, framed by some as a response to Hungary's threats concerning the pipeline. Monitoring channels also noted activity between Dnipro and Kamiansky, with warnings about potential debris and reports of activity near Baltic areas. Earlier, a group identified as 'Shahameda' was reported to be past Pokrovskoye and moving towards Vasylkivka. The approved U.S. military sale aims to enhance Ukraine's ability to counter Russian aggression. The State Department's approval marks a significant step in providing advanced weaponry to Kyiv.
