05.05.2025 ⇢ Day Police Blood In Makhachkala While Moscow Drones Intensify
⌨
Moscow's air defenses intercepted four drones over Podolsk heading toward the capital early in the day, part of a larger assault with Russia claiming 26 Ukrainian drones destroyed overnight across multiple regions. This continues the pattern of intensifying drone attacks reported in previous days.
By midday, attention shifted to a deadly attack on police in Makhachkala, Dagestan, where initial reports indicated three officers killed, though later revised to two. Security forces claimed to have eliminated two attackers while others escaped in a stolen police vehicle.
Ukrainian forces launched what Russian media described as a new offensive in the Kursk region, with reports of destroyed bridges and heavy fighting along the border. Several civilians were reportedly injured in Ukrainian strikes on Rylsk, including two teenagers.
Trump's comments about Russia "wanting all of Ukraine" received significant coverage, alongside his praise for Putin's previously announced Victory Day ceasefire.
