Drone hits bomber base inside Russia as Putin’s forces bombard Ukrainian cities

Moscow said on Monday its forces had shot down a Ukrainian drone close to a long-range bomber base deep inside Russia, while Ukraine said the Russians had unleashed heavy artillery barrages on its cities in the past 24 hours.

However, Russian and Ukrainian social media accounts said a number of planes had been destroyed. Reuters was not able to independently verify those reports. “In the Kherson direction, the enemy continues artillery shelling of populated areas along the right bank of the Dnipro River,” the Ukrainian military said.Ukraine’s energy grid operator said power was still significantly lacking on Monday, with emergency restrictions for electricity consumption introduced in five Ukrainian regions and the capital Kyiv.

The air base is one of two strategic bomber bases housing Russia’s air-delivered nuclear capability. There was no comment from Kyiv, which has never publicly claimed responsibility for attacks inside Russia. Saratov’s regional governor Roman Busargin said on Monday civilian infrastructure facilities had not been damaged in the latest incident at the base and there was no threat to residents.

An adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Putin needed to acknowledge it was Russia that did not want talks.
