NextImg:Ukraine swarms Russia with drones a day after downing strategic bomber

Dozens of Ukrainian strike drones swarmed regions of Russia overnight, taking out at least three power substations and a fuel depot one day in a after shooting down a Russian strategic bomber — a wartime first for the besieged nation.

Reuters reported the Russian Tu-22M3 bomber was hit Friday with a modified S-200, a Soviet-era long-range surface-to-air missile system.

The strategic bomber was destroyed in the central region of Dnipropetrovsk after it completed a bombing mission that killed eight people in Ukraine — including a 14-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy.

In recent weeks, Ukraine has focused its efforts on dismantling oil refineries and energy facilities within Russia.

On Saturday, more than 50 long-range drones flew into Russia, with most being shot down in the Belgorod region on Ukraine’s northwest border.
