Daytime Russian drone strikes hit Ukrainian intelligence hub and TV broadcaster

Russian drones hit Ukraine’s intelligence headquarters and a television station during a live news broadcast, aiming to pressure President Zelensky.

In the past week, a Russian unmanned aircraft struck the headquarters of Ukraine’s intelligence service, and a second drone crashed into a TV station while it aired daytime news. The daylight attacks are presented as part of President Vladimir Putin’s strategy to intensify civilian pressure and force President Volodymyr Zelensky into a peace deal favorable to Moscow. Analysts view the move as a sign of growing desperation in Russia’s war tactics.

Why it matters

The strikes show Russia expanding its war tactics to civilian targets, aiming to force a peace settlement on Kyiv.
