Ukraine Drone Attack Kills Two in Moscow; UN Condemns Russian Sexual Violence

Russia reported that a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack on the Moscow region resulted in two fatalities and damaged an oil refinery. The incident led to the temporary suspension of flights at two capital airports. This escalation follows Ukraine's approval of new long-range operations targeting Russian assets in response to ongoing strikes.

Meanwhile, the United Nations has condemned what it describes as a "shocking pattern" of sexual violence perpetrated by Russian troops in Ukraine. The UN's findings highlight the severe human rights abuses occurring amidst the conflict. In parallel, the U.S. State Department has approved a significant air defense sale to Ukraine, valued at $2.68 billion, underscoring continued international support for Kyiv's defense capabilities.
