The empire strikes back. Last week, Ukrainian spies destroyed a large chunk of Russia's fearsome nuclear bomber fleet using small, smuggled drones. On Friday, Russia retaliated with some of the largest air raids against Ukraine to date.

Russia's UK ambassador said that Ukraine's recent drone attacks on airbases for nuclear bombers could escalate the conflict to "World War III" as he suggested that Britain was involved

Sharing further details of the large-scale assault, Ukrainian officials said that cruise missiles and hundreds of drones were launched targeting Kyiv, Chernihiv, Lutsk and Ternopil.
