River Raid

Ukraine has carried out another large-scale overnight drone attack on Russia, with hundreds of drones reportedly flying over Russian airspace. Targets are said to include the Moscow region and the Volga River valley, following strikes the previous night. The raids mark a continuation of Ukraine's deep-strike campaign against Russian territory.

Ukrainian forces are carrying out a second consecutive night of large-scale drone attacks on Russia, following a series of hits reported the previous night. Open-source trackers say hundreds of Ukrainian drones are in Russian airspace, with one wave directed at the Moscow area and another toward the Volga River valley, keeping pressure on Russian air defences.

On this day in 863, Turpio, Count of Angoulême in the Frankish empire, was killed while trying to repel a Viking raid. The anniversary is being recalled by history and travel enthusiasts, who link the episode to the broader Norse attacks along Frankish rivers that shaped medieval France.

The Kyiv Defence Council, chaired by Mayor Vitali Klitschko, has reviewed traffic movement on the bridges across the Dnipro river, with the council's proposals to be passed to central government authorities. The Kyiv Metro says it is ready to restore service on the Southern Bridge on the green line under a yellow air-raid alert level, but only after receiving the relevant expert approvals. The talks focus on balancing daily transit needs with security restrictions in the capital.
