Putin orders tightening of Ukraine border as drones hit Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered officials to tighten control of the border with Ukraine after a spate of drone attacks that Russian authorities blamed on Kyiv delivered a new challenge to Moscow a year after its full-scale invasion of its neighbour.
One drone crashed on Tuesday just 100km (60 miles) southeast of Moscow in an alarming development for Russian defences.
Operationally, Russian forces have been pressing their offensive around Bakhmut, trying to encircle the small mining city, as rain and an early spring thaw turn eastern Ukraine’s battlefields to mud, potentially leaving both sides hamstring as they try to secure an edge in the war.
