Russia bombarded Kyiv with ballistic missiles in an hourslong nighttime barrage on Thursday, while the Russian military reported intercepting over 800 drones fired by Ukraine at Moscow and other cities. The attacks resulted in at least four deaths and dozens of injuries in Ukraine, officials stated.
The Russian military claimed its air defenses successfully intercepted over 800 Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow and other areas. This claim follows a nighttime barrage of ballistic missiles launched at Kyiv. At least four people were killed and dozens wounded across Ukraine as a result of the attacks, according to officials.
Both PBS Newshour and The Hill reported the same core facts of the missile barrage on Kyiv and the Russian claim of intercepting over 800 drones. No right-leaning outlet reported this story.
Our reading is that the reported attacks represent a continuation of the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides demonstrating a willingness to engage in direct military action. The Russian claim of intercepting a large number of drones, coupled with the lack of reporting from hard-right outlets, suggests a possible attempt to portray strength and control the narrative. The simultaneous reporting of attacks on Kyiv by multiple mainstream outlets underscores the severity of the situation.
