There were no immediate reports of any damage or casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine is pressing on with a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-war-zaporizhzhia-counteroffensive-2d6c2dc7ffecc679189e828ad67bea30\">slow-moving counteroffensive<\/a> it launched three months ago to expel Russian invaders, though mounting concerns about replenishing its military stocks and <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ukraine-poland-us-slovakia-hungary-russia-2870e5e7652ea673c9d8fb352d123471\">cracks in the Western wall of support<\/a> cast a cloud over its efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adm. Rob Bauer, the head of NATO\u2019s Military Committee, sounded the alarm about depleted stockpiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe bottom of the barrel is now visible,\u201d Bauer said of weapons systems and ammunition supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the war of attrition likely continuing through winter into next year, Bauer urged the defense industry to boost production \u201cat a much higher tempo. And we need large volumes,\u201d he told the Warsaw Security Forum, an annual two-day conference that continued Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian Defense Ministry didn\u2019t provide any evidence for its claims about intercepting Ukrainian drones nor any details about any damage or casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also said Russian aircraft thwarted a Ukrainian attempt to deploy a group of soldiers by sea to the western side of Russian-annexed Crimea. The force attempted to land on Cape Tarkhankut, on Crimea\u2019s western end, using a high-speed boat and three jet skis, the ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moscow\u2019s claims could not be independently verified, and Ukrainian officials made no immediate comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Crimean Peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014, has been <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-war-crimea-drone-29218ed006a79c4b0629688ce4820cc8\">a frequent target<\/a> of Ukrainian attacks. The region has been the key hub supporting the invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bauer\u2019s stark warning on depleted weapons stockpiles adds to mounting concerns over the resupply of Ukraine\u2019s armed forces, which has deepened amid political turmoil in the United States and <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/mccarthy-gaetz-speaker-motion-to-vacate-congress-327e294a39f8de079ef5e4abfb1fa555\">the unprecedented and dramatic ouster<\/a> Tuesday of House Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/kevin-mccarthy\">Kevin McCarthy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. is by far <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ukraine-aid-congress-money-russia-e8cf1bf75fc67a6126aee8b15b0a16d4\">Ukraine\u2019s largest military supplier<\/a>, but a faction in the House Republican majority, and many GOP voters, oppose sending more military aid to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon has <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ukraine-russia-war-congress-funding-13727f76561a80d2f00267a13667c33a\">warned Congress<\/a> that it is running low on money to replace weapons the U.S. has sent to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, publicly questioned the motives of what he called \u201cWestern conservative elites.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy are you so insistently against &#8230; destroying the Russian army, which has been terrifying,\u201d he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding concerns prompted U.S. President <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/joe-biden\">Joe Biden<\/a> to hold a phone call Tuesday with key allies in Europe, as well as the leaders of Canada and Japan, to coordinate support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The call was held three days after Biden signed legislation <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/government-shutdown-mccarthy-congress-republicans-732baaa19c91f981e492fd0e6a76aba8\">hastily sent to him by Congress<\/a> that kept the federal government funded but left off billions in funding for Ukraine\u2019s war effort that the White House had vigorously backed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile Wednesday, sirens blared across Russia and television station briefly interrupted regular broadcasts to air emergency warnings as part of nationwide drills that started on the previous day to test the readiness of the country\u2019s emergency agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian media said that the scenario of the drills envisioned the increasing danger of a conflict between nuclear powers and simulated action in response to a situation in which 70% of housing and all vital infrastructure are destroyed and wide areas are contaminated by a radioactive fallout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drills follow a series of warnings from Russian officials that Western support for Ukraine has increased the threat of a direct military conflict between Russia and NATO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The attack appeared to be Kyiv\u2019s largest single cross-border drone assault reported by Moscow since it launched its invasion 20 months
