800+ drones in 24 hrs: Russia’s ‘unstoppable’ air assault leaves Ukraine in flames | Putin, Zelensky

Russia and Ukraine have traded deadly blows as global tensions soared during Donald Trump’s high-stakes visit to China. Moscow launched one of its biggest aerial assaults of the war, with Ukraine saying nearly 800 Russian drones were fired in less than 24 hours, killing at least 14 people and injuring more than 80. At the same time, Ukraine struck deep inside Russia, targeting oil and gas facilities from the Black Sea coast to the Caspian region, with reports of major fires and thick smoke at key energy sites. The clashes came as Trump met Xi Jinping in Beijing for talks focused on Ukraine, the Middle East, and wider security concerns. Xi reportedly warned the U.S. and China could drift into conflict if the Taiwan issue is mishandled, adding to the global stakes of the summit. Meanwhile, Russia showcased its military power with the Sarmat missile test, underscoring the growing pressure on the battlefield and beyond.
