Ukraine launched a widespread drone attack on Russia on Wednesday, with air defence units destroying multiple drones, including three south of the Kremlin and 15 in the Bryansk region, Russian officials said.
The three drones heading towards Moscow were downed over Podolsk, with no damage or casualties reported, according to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin on Telegram. Similar reports came from the Bryansk region, where no injuries or damage were noted post-attack.
The Tula region saw the destruction of two more drones, and a missile launched by Ukraine was taken down over the Rostov region without causing injuries, as per local governor Vasily Golubev's report. The total number of drones and missiles launched by Ukraine remains unclear.
Reuters could not independently verify these reports, and there was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Kyiv has recently increased its air attacks to dismantle Russian infrastructure essential to Moscow's war efforts, citing them as responses to ongoing Russian strikes on Ukrainian soil.
