Kiev has recently developed a taste for drone strikes against civilian targets in Russia, with media reports indicating that UAVs with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities may be used in these attacks.
Western powers may be assisting Ukraine in staging drone strikes against targets deep in Russian territory such as oil refineries, if a recent report by CNN is to be believed.
A further 20 people were injured in the strike on the suburb of Tekstilshchik, including two children, said Denis Pushilin, head of the Russian-installed authorities in Donetsk.
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, who runs SpaceX and its Starlink satellite internet service, clarified he declined to activate the network over Crimea in order to enable a Ukrainian strike on the Russian naval fleet.
