Russian drone strikes target Ukrainian infrastructure and border checkpoints

Russian forces conducted drone strikes against a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih and border checkpoints near Moldova, while Ukrainian forces targeted the LUKOIL-Permnefteorgsintez refinery in Perm. Reports also indicate potential North Korean deployment of drone operators to support Russian operations, though this remains unverified. These actions represent a continued escalation in long-range strike capabilities and cross-border targeting.
