Ukraine launched approximately 600 drones at targets inside Russia in what President Zelensky described as a 'justified' attack, marking one of the largest drone strikes of the ongoing conflict.

Russian authorities have progressively restricted internet access across the country over the past year, culminating in the recent blocking of Telegram, Russia's most widely used messenger application. While the Kremlin justifies these measures as necessary to prevent drone attacks, analysts assess the restrictions as part of a wider campaign to control information flow and limit dissent during the Ukraine conflict.
