Ukraine strikes deepest ever into Russia, hitting targets over 3,000 km from border
Ukraine has carried out its deepest strike yet inside Russia, damaging gas facilities more than 3,000 kilometers from its border. The same day saw a fire at a Russia-Iran hub on the Caspian Sea and Canada pledge $1 billion for Ukrainian air defense as Russia keeps building around 100 ballistic missiles monthly.
On day 1660 of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Ukraine has reportedly conducted its deepest strike into Russian territory to date, hitting gas industry facilities located more than 3,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
Fire at Caspian hub
The same day, a fire broke out at an infrastructure site described as a hub for Russia-Iran cooperation on the Caspian Sea. Details on the cause and any possible connection to Ukrainian operations were not specified.
Canada commits to air defense
Canada announced a pledge of $1 billion toward Ukraine's air defense capabilities. The commitment comes as Russia continues producing roughly 100 ballistic missiles per month, according to available estimates, sustaining pressure on Ukraine's air defense resources.
Taken together, the day's developments point to a war continuing to expand both geographically and in terms of international backing — Ukraine reaching ever more distant targets inside Russia, while allies keep reinforcing its defenses against a growing missile threat.
