00:00Ukrainian drones just delivered one of the deepest strikes inside Russia of the entire war.
00:05The target, a military production site in the Russian Republic of Chuvashia,
00:10600 miles from the Ukrainian border.
00:13Two people were killed and more than 30 injured in the long-range missile and drone attack.
00:18Ukrainian President Zelensky confirmed the site produced components for Russian military vehicles and missiles.
00:25More than 20 apartment buildings were damaged.
00:27The region was placed under a state of emergency.
00:31The strike came just days before Russia's Victory Day parade on May 9th,
00:35and Moscow has scaled back its annual military display amid fears of further Ukrainian drone attacks.
00:42For the United States, this matters.
00:45The deeper Ukraine reaches into Russia, the more pressure on Putin's war machine.
00:50And the higher the chance of either a peace deal or dangerous escalation,
00:54The Pentagon is closely watching how Russia retaliates next.
00:58We'll be right here.
