Kyiv on Saturday staged a major drone attack on the Russian city of Kazan, 1,000 kilometres from the frontier, as Moscow’s troops captured a new frontline village in eastern Ukraine.

The drones damaged buildings in Kazan, capital of the Tartarstan republic, with a population of more than 1.3 million, but there were no victims, local officials said.

Kazan City hall said some fires had started and were being tackled by the fire brigade.

The city’s airport was temporarily closed, the Russian civilian aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, said.

Some residents were evacuated, but authorities did not give figures. They said that all major public events in Tartarstan had been cancelled as a precaution.

Videos on Russian social media networks showed drones hitting high rise buildings setting off fireballs. AFP could not immediately verify the authenticity of the images.

Ukraine, which has staged regular attacks on targets inside Russia since the start of full scale military offensive in February 22, did not immediately comment.

‘Today [Saturday] Kazan suffered a massive drone attack,’ Rustam Minnikhanov, the Tartarstan republic leader, said in a post on Telegram.

‘While before industrial enterprises were attacked, now the enemy attacks civilians in the morning,’ he added.

Minnikhanov’s press service said at least eight drones had been detected.

Russia’s defence ministry accused Ukraine of targeting ‘civilian infrastructure’ in Kazan. It said six drones had been neutralised or destroyed but did not say how many had been involved.

The ministry said the Russian army had captured a new village near the key city of Kurakhove in eastern Ukraine where Russian forces have made major advances in recent months.

Russian troops had ‘liberated’ the village of Kostiantynopolske, just eight kilometres from Kurakhove, an industrial town that is a looming Russian target, a statement said.

Russia on Friday staged strikes on the Ukraine capital, Kyiv, that left one dead and 13 wounded, according to the city’s authorities.

Another five people were killed in a Ukrainian attack on the Russian frontier region of Kursk, the local governor said.​

Ukraine has 2 mln hours of drone footage to train AI for warfare: Report

Since the Ukraine-Russia war which began in 2022, Ukrainian drone operators have collected over 2 million hours of video, equivalent to 228 years of footage, to support AI-driven decision-making in combat, according to a recent report by Reuters.

Since the Ukraine-Russia war which began in 2022, Ukrainian drone operators have collected over 2 million hours of video, equivalent to 228 years of footage, to support AI-driven decision-making in combat, according to a recent report by Reuters.

Oleksandr Dmitriev, founder of OCHI, a Ukrainian non-profit digital system, revealed that his platform centralises and analyses video feeds from more than 15,000 frontline drone crews. This data is valuable in case of developing AI capable of identifying targets, optimising weapon trajectories, and learning combat tactics. Dmitriev told Reuters, "This is food for the AI. If you want to teach an AI, you give it 2 million hours (of video), it will become something supernatural."

Initially launched to provide battlefield commanders with real-time drone footage on a unified display, the OCHI system evolved to preserve video data for analysis. The platform stores approximately five to six terabytes of new footage daily, creating a detailed record of the conflict, as per the report.

Dmitriev noted that the vast dataset represents "experience turned into mathematics," enabling AI to study and refine strategies such as determining optimal angles and trajectories for weapon use.

Ukraine's foreign allies have expressed interest in the OCHI system, though Dmitriev declined to specify details. Experts believe the dataset offers a significant advantage in training AI systems to interpret complex battlefield environments, according to the report.

The integration of AI into warfare has already reshaped battlefield dynamics, with both sides in the Ukraine conflict deploying AI for target identification and strategic decision-making.​

Russia said on Sunday it had captured two more villages in east Ukraine, the latest territorial gains for Moscow’s advancing army.

The defence ministry said on Telegram that its troops had ‘liberated’ the villages of Lozova in the northeastern Kharkiv region and Krasnoye — called Sontsivka in Ukraine.

The latter is close to the resource hub of Kurakhove, which Russia has almost encircled and would be a key prize for Moscow’s attempt to capture the entire Donetsk region.

Russia has accelerated its advance across eastern Ukraine in recent months, looking to secure as much territory as possible before US president-elect Donald Trump comes to power in January.

The Republican has promised to bring a swift end to the nearly three-year conflict, without proposing any concrete terms for a ceasefire or peace deal.

Moscow’s army claims to have seized more than 190 Ukrainian settlements this year, with Kyiv struggling to hold the line in the face of manpower and ammunition shortages.

Meanwhile, Russian president Vladimir Putin on Sunday vowed to bring more ‘destruction’ to Ukraine in retaliation for a drone attack on the central Russian city of Kazan a day earlier.

Russia accused Ukraine of a ‘massive’ drone attack that hit a luxury apartment block in the city, some 1,000 kilometres from the frontier.

Videos on Russian social media networks showed drones hitting a high-rise glass building and setting off fireballs, though there were no reported casualties as a result of the strike.

‘Whoever, and however much they try to destroy, they will face many times more destruction themselves and will regret what they are trying to do in our country,’ Putin said during a televised government meeting on Sunday.

Putin was addressing the local leader of Tatarstan, the region where Kazan is located, in a road-opening ceremony via video link.

The strike on Kazan was the latest in a series of escalating aerial attacks in the nearly three-year conflict.

Ukraine has not commented on the strike.

Putin has previously threatened to target the centre of Kyiv with a hypersonic ballistic missile in response to Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory.

And the defence ministry has called Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities over recent weeks retaliatory hits for Kyiv using Western-supplied missiles to hit Russian air bases and arms factories.​

South Asian coludzz think drones on AI don't make a diff?......Achha......maybe they can then explain why Imam Putin then pumping em out like converted south Asian dalit pumps out babies?

Anyone?

If you note, this production line that Irans set up in Russia, if you make the environment dark and hollywood Al-Yahuda style with mujick and special effects is just like that scene from T-3 or T-4 where the alcoholic human with speech impairment breaks into the cybernet facility and the terminators are on an automated assy line running on AI.

Doc, Sharma.....yous seeing dis?.....just needs special lighting/ sinister effects and dis current T-3 or whatever T-4 filumm no?.......

Production of terminators.

Not much anyone, incl the US/west, can do against a saturation attack. Expensive air and missile defence is for conventional missile attacks. Ijraeli iron done has worked admirable but even so, there were some slipping through.

Fire and forget dumb projectiles, no electronic warfare possible either.
