Ukraine says its latest long-range attacks have hit a major natural gas plant and satellite-related facilities inside Russia, widening the focus of Kyiv's campaign against infrastructure it describes as supporting Moscow's war effort.
The strikes, reported by the Associated Press among its top world stories, come as both sides continue to test each other's air defences and energy resilience.
A widening reach
The core development is the expansion of Ukraine's reach and the strategic importance of energy and space-linked sites to the wider conflict, suggesting Kyiv is prepared to strike deeper and across a broader range of targets.
What happens next
Analysts will watch whether Russia adjusts its air defences and whether the campaign disrupts energy supplies, as each side seeks to weaken the other's capacity to sustain a prolonged war.
