Russia broke the relative calm by launching a drone assault on Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, on Sunday morning. This marked the first attack of its kind in 12 days and involved Shahed explosive drones of Iranian origin. Thankfully, all the drones were detected and intercepted successfully, preventing any significant harm.

The attack extended beyond the city itself and also targeted the surrounding Kyiv region. Unfortunately, one individual sustained injuries due to falling debris caused by a destroyed drone. While the precise number of drones used in the assault remains undisclosed, Ukraine's air force confirmed that a total of eight Shahed drones and three Kalibr cruise missiles were launched by the Russian forces across the country.

Following the mutiny, General Sergei Surovikin, the deputy commander of the Russian forces in Ukraine, was reportedly detained. The details surrounding his detention, including any charges and his current location, remain unclear due to the opaque nature of Kremlin politics and the post-revolt uncertainty.

In a Telegram post, Vyacheslav Volodin stated that Russian President Putin made efforts to prevent bloodshed and confusion by explaining the true state of affairs to Wagner fighters. Putin suggested that those who wished to defend Russia should continue their service with weapons in hand, and it is believed that many agreed to this proposal, according to Volodin.

However, some independent observers and analysts argue that Putin may suffer political repercussions from his initial announcement of harsh repercussions for Wagner and subsequent statements that the group would not face prosecution. Furthermore, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of Wagner, was allowed to leave Russia for Belarus.

In response to the relocation of Wagner fighters to Belarus, Poland has announced that it will send an additional 500 police officers to join the 5,000 border guards and 2,000 soldiers already stationed on its eastern border. The reinforcement of defenses follows concerns over the situation and aims to address potential security challenges.
