Russian drone attacks appear to slacken after Trump outburst over barrages

Russia launched 60 drones at Ukraine overnight, officials in Kyiv say, indicating a sharp decrease in the intensity of Moscow’s attacks after US President Donald Trump said Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin had “gone absolutely CRAZY” and threatened sanctions a day earlier.

The last several nights had seen massive aerial bombardments, including a record barrage of 355 drones on Sunday night, according to Ukraine.

Ukraine says the drone attack hit targets in nine locations, injuring 10 people.

Russia, meanwhile, says it downed 99 Ukrainian drones overnight.
