For more than three years, most of Russia has viewed the war sparked by the Kremlin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine from afar. Now, some say, an audacious attack by Kyiv deep inside Russia means it has arrived on their doorstep.

For more than three years, most of Russia has viewed the war sparked by the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine from afar.

Now, some say, following an audacious attack by Ukraine that saw hordes of drones smuggled into Russia and then deployed on June 1 to wipe out dozens of long-range bombers, it has arrived on their doorstep.

In the Irkutsk, Murmansk, Ryazan, and Ivanovo regions, drones struck air bases, shocking Russian authorities and citizens.

“It was a fiery hell,” residents of the Irkutsk region told RFE/RL’s Siberia Realities.

In Siberia, some 4,000 km away, residents appeared to be shaken.

“Now the war has reached us too,” residents told Siberia Realities.
