Ukrainian Drone Hits School in Luhansk Amid Rising Tensions

Regional outlets in Eastern Europe focus on the fear and anger in Romania after a drone hit a residential building, even if it was intercepted while targeting Russia’s attack on Ukraine. They report on residents near the border who now feel exposed to both Russian strikes and falling debris from air defence battles. These reports also note that Ukrainian drone attacks deeper into Russian‑held areas and Russia’s response are pushing both sides to expand air and drone defences.
