A Russian border region facing Ukrainian shelling and drone attacks has announced the closure of schools and colleges as part of a major evacuation plan. The ongoing conflict has intensified as Kyiv's forces continue their campaign of long-range strikes to exert pressure on the Kremlin.
Due to a shortage of ammunition supplies along the 1,000-kilometer front line, Ukraine has been forced to adopt a more defensive stance, as promised Western supplies have not been fully delivered. Despite this, Ukraine has been targeting oil facilities deep inside Russia and aiming to unsettle Russia's border regions.
