Ukraine Says It Launched Drone Strikes on Military Planes Deep Inside Russia

Pictures and videos on social media showed passengers attempting to climb out of damaged carriages in the darkness in the Bryansk region.

Ukraine launched a massive drone strike on June 1 damaging 40 warplanes among four Russian military airports, one of the its largest strikes in the war since Russiaโ€™s 2022 invasion, according to a Ukrainian intelligence official.

The attack hit nuclear-capable-long-range bombers at a military base deep in Siberia. It was Ukraineโ€™s first strike more than 2,670 miles from the front lines.

Ukraineโ€™s air force said that Russia had launched 472 drones overnight, the highest number of drones launched at night since the beginning of the war.

Additionally, Russian officials said on Sunday that two bridges in different Russian regions bordering Ukraine were blown up, killing at least seven people and injuring 69.

The group of attacks took place just one day before the U.S. government had brokered for both sides to sit down for face-to-face negotiations to end the war, which has killed and injured at least 1.2 million people.

On Saturday evening, around 10:50 p.m. local time, a highway bridge in the Bryansk region was hit right as a passenger train containing 388 passengers bound for Moscow was passing underneath, according to Russian investigators.

They added that only four hours later, a railway bridge over a highway was struck in the Kursk region. The explosion caused pieces of a freight train to shower the road underneath.

The incidents were linked together and confirmed as two bridge explosions, according to Russiaโ€™s investigative Committee, which investigates serious crimes. No one has thus far claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Pictures and videos on social media showed passengers attempting to climb out of damaged carriages in the darkness in the Bryansk region. Portions of a crushed passenger train could be seen under a destroyed road bridge with damaged carriages strewn about the rail lines.

Alexander Bogomaz, the regionโ€™s governor, said on Russian television: โ€œThe bridge was blown up while the Klimovo-Moscow train was passing through with 388 passengers on board.โ€
