Ukraine carried out one of the largest drone attacks on Russia on Sunday targeting its military air bases and hitting nearly 34% of the strategic cruise missiles. The operation named "Spider's Web" involved months of meticulous planning and the covert transport of drones into Russian territory.

Calling it a "brilliant operation", Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, "Today, a brilliant operation was carried out. The preparation took over a year and a half. What’s most interesting, is that the 'office' of our operation on Russian territory was located directly next to FSB headquarters in one of their regions. Our people operated in different Russian regions - in three time zones. And our people, those who helped us, were withdrawn from Russia on the eve of the operation - now they are safe".
The Russian defence ministry also confirmed the strikes and said that 5 airbases were targeted across the country, however, it said that the attacks were "successfully repelled".
