"Escalating Conflict: Ukraine's Drone Strikes Target Russian Border Region"

A Russian border region is facing sustained Ukrainian artillery and drone strikes, leading to the closure of schools and colleges and a major evacuation plan. Ukraine's offensive is aimed at pressuring the Kremlin, but it lacks ammunition due to a shortfall in Western supplies. The attacks have embarrassed the Kremlin, with casualties reported and Putin vowing support for affected civilians. The European Union plans to use frozen Russian assets to provide weapons and funds for Ukraine, while the U.S. Congress remains stalled over military funding. Additionally, the Czech government is sourcing artillery shells for Ukraine, as the conflict continues to escalate with casualties reported on both sides.
