Ukraine said it attacked a Russian anti-missile early warning radar system for a second time in a week, using drones to target sites increasingly far from its border in an attempt to disrupt the Kremlin’s war machine and shake the nation’s sense of security.

The drone hit the monitoring system in Orsk, in Russia’s Orenburg region, on Sunday, an official in Ukraine’s military intelligence said, asking not to be identified. The city is about 1,800 kilometers (1,120 miles) east of Ukraine, near the border with Kazakhstan in central Asia. It’s not clear what, if any, damage the strike caused, the official said.
