Ukraine’s daring long-range drone offensive—code-named “Operation Spiderweb”—has reportedly devastated key Russian airbases deep inside Siberia, with newly released satellite images confirming significant damage. The attack, likened by pro-Kremlin voices to Pearl Harbor, targeted at least four military installations, including the Belaya air base in Irkutsk Oblast, more than 2,500 miles from Ukraine’s border.
High-resolution imagery from Umbra Space reveals the destruction of at least three Tu-95MS strategic bombers and one Tu-22M3, with additional aircraft reportedly damaged. Ukrainian intelligence claims the coordinated drone strikes disabled 34% of Russia’s cruise missile bomber fleet, inflicting an estimated $7 billion in damage.

The Russia-Ukraine war has reached a boiling point. Ukrainian drone strikes late Monday knocked out power across multiple Russian regions, with Zaporozhye and Kherson plunging into darkness. Over 104,000 people were left without electricity, and hospitals are relying on backup generators. The strikes came just hours after failed peace talks in Istanbul, with Kyiv rejecting Moscow's demands. As both sides escalate militarily, Ukraine appears undeterred by the threat of a greater Russian offensive. The conflict is entering a critical, unpredictable phase.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky launched a scathing attack on Russia's proposal for a short-term ceasefire aimed at recovering bodies from the battlefield, calling it a sham and labeling the Russian delegation “idiots.” The remarks came after the second round of peace talks in Türkiye, where Russia's lead negotiator Vladimir Medinsky suggested a 2–3 day truce for humanitarian reasons. Zelensky dismissed the idea, arguing that Russia continues to bombard Ukraine with hundreds of drones and missiles nightly.

Canada is weighing joining the US in President Donald Trump’s ambitious “Golden Dome” missile defense initiative, aimed at shielding against threats like ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Chief of Defence Staff Jennie Carignan affirmed strong US-Canada military ties amid rising geopolitical tensions. While China and Russia warn against space militarization, Ottawa stresses defense, not provocation. Trump promises operational status by term-end, while Canada increases Arctic vigilance. With regional dynamics shifting toward the Indo-Pacific, North America’s security strategy could be on the brink of dramatic transformation.

Ukraine launched a dramatic long-range drone strike deep into Russian territory, targeting multiple airbases in a surprise special operation. At least 40 Russian aircraft, including strategic bombers and an advanced A-50 surveillance plane, were destroyed. The attack struck the Irkutsk region's Sridni village—marking the first such strike in Siberia. Conducted under operation "Pavutyna" or "Web," the offensive aims to degrade Russia's long-range strike capacity. The attack coincides with fresh peace talks scheduled in Istanbul, where Kyiv will push for a full ceasefire, prisoner release, and return of abducted children.

Hours after Ukrainian drones struck deep into Russian territory, destroying over 40 aircraft, Russia responded. Irkutsk region governor Igor Kobzev confirmed that the source of the Ukrainian drone launch had been “blocked and destroyed.” He added that the situation in Sridni and surrounding areas was “under complete control.” The drone strike—part of Ukraine’s “Pavutyna” operation—hit strategic airbases in Siberia, including Belaya and Olenya. It marks the first such strike in Irkutsk. The Russian reaction signals a turning point in how Moscow intends to confront Ukraine’s expanding drone warfare.
