Ukrainian drones strike deep into Russia, Russia takes village near Donetsk
Al JazeeraResidential buildings have been hit in the Russian city of Kazan, causing no casualties. Ukrainian drones have hit residential buildings in the Russian city of Kazan, more than 1,000 kilometres from the front line, bringing the war deep into the heart of Russia. ‘High-tech duel’ The incident comes amid growingly brazen attacks after Russia’s President Vladimir Putin proposed a “high-tech duel” with Kyiv during his end-of-year news conference on Thursday, suggesting he would test his claims that Russia’s new hypersonic ballistic missile was impervious to air defences. Ukraine targeted the town of Rylsk in Russia’s Kursk border region on the same day, deploying United States-supplied missiles in an attack that killed six people, including a child. Ukraine’s air force said Russia also fired one S-400 missile at central Ukraine but that there was no damage from it.
