In response to a fresh wave of drone attacks within its borders and Ukrainian President's warning that the war is "returning" home, the Kremlin has taken decisive action to bolster Russia's air defenses. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced the implementation of additional measures aimed at enhancing protection against both air and sea-based assaults.

The move comes after a series of attempted drone attacks, which Moscow has attributed to Kyiv, suggesting they are a response to Russia's challenges in the ongoing counteroffensive on the battlefield. On the other hand, Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of perpetrating a deadly new attack targeting civilians at the heart of the country.

The situation remains highly charged and dynamic. Stay tuned for further updates as this developing story unfolds.
