Ukraine Conducts Record Drone Assault on Moscow

Ukraine launched one of its largest drone attacks on Moscow, with Russian air defence reportedly destroying at least 10 drones. The incident, part of a broader campaign including strikes on other regions, caused no injuries or damage. Ukraine's intent is to disrupt Russia's war infrastructure.

Ukraine launched a significant drone assault on Moscow, aiming to disrupt vital infrastructure. Moscow's Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed that Russian air defence neutralized at least 10 drones targeting the capital, including those over Podolsk, roughly 38 km south of the Kremlin.

According to Sobyanin's preliminary information, the attack resulted in no injuries or damages. This marks one of the most substantial drone strikes on Moscow, noticeably larger than similar efforts in May 2023. Russian authorities rarely disclose the full extent of these attacks, only reporting drones intercepted by their air defence systems.

The broader drone offensive also targeted multiple regions, including Bryansk and Tula, with no casualties reported. Kyiv's actions are said to respond to ongoing Russian strikes on Ukrainian territory.
