Ukraine-Russia war live: Putin’s forces pushed back by counteroffensive after ‘largest’ drone strike
Russian president Vladimir Putin’s forces have been pushed back amid Ukraine’s counteroffensive, as deputy defence minister Hanna Maliar reported new “successes” in the south and east. “There have been some successes, in particular in the direction of Novodanylivka-Novoprokopivka,” Ms Maliar said on the Telegram messaging app, referring to two southeastern villages in the Zaporizhzhia region. Novoprokopivka lies further south of the strategic settlement of Robotyne, which Ukraine said on Monday it had liberated. Ms Maliar also said Kyiv’s forces were pressing on with their offensive operations south of the devastated eastern city of Bakhmut, which was captured by Russian troops in May. The battlefield update comes on the same day the UK’s Ministry of Defence said Putin faced the largest attack on Russia since the start of the war, after it was hit by five separate drone strikes overnight on 29 and 30 August. The MoD said explosions were recorded in Moscow, Bryansk, and Ryazan, as well as at Pskov airbase close to the Estonian border. The government added that since many of these drones reached their targets, it “likely means Russian air defence is having difficulty detecting and destroying them”.
