25.04.2026 ⇢ The Day Drones Reached the Urals
⌨
The day began with reports of a massive Ukrainian drone attack on the Urals, with 127 drones downed and a residential building damaged in Yekaterinburg, marking the first such strike on the region. State-aligned sources emphasized no casualties, but independent outlets reported injuries. By mid-morning, Russia retaliated with a large-scale strike on Ukraine's defense industry, described as a response to 'terrorist attacks.' In the afternoon, Trump claimed a new proposal from Iran and canceled a planned envoy trip to Pakistan for talks, though he denied it meant resuming hostilities. Meanwhile, Aliyev offered joint arms production with Ukraine, and Netanyahu ordered strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon. The drone attack on the Urals dominated coverage, with state media framing it as an escalation requiring retaliation.
