Ukraine and Russia Trade Drone Attacks, Killing 5 People

HeadlineJul 28, 2025

Ukraine and Russia continue to trade drone attacks. On Saturday, Ukraine said that 200 Russian drones and 30 missiles targeted Dnipro, killing three people. In Russia, two people died in a Ukrainian drone strike.

Meanwhile, Reuters has revealed new details about the role Elon Musk has personally played in the war in Ukraine. In 2022, when Ukraine pushed to regain some of its territory back from Russia, Reuters reports Musk ordered the shutdown of Ukraine’s access to his Starlink satellite service. The Ukrainian offensive stalled as its drones monitoring Russian forces went dark. A source told Reuters that the decision allowed Musk to take “the outcome of a war into his own hands.”
