Russia says war 'must continue' after Ukraine's 'massive' drone attack on Moscow

Russia states the war must continue following a massive Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow. The overnight strike caused all Moscow airports to shut down and led to over 460 flight delays or cancellations across Moscow and St. Petersburg. While some reports indicate over 600 drones targeted the capital and surrounding areas, other reports claim Russia downed 21 drones. Simultaneously, Russia launched strikes against Kharkiv. This escalation occurs while a ceasefire associated with Melania Trump reportedly holds, though both nations continue to bombard each other.
