Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks, targeting Moscow and parts of western Russia, regional officials reported early Sunday. Despite the aggression, no injuries or significant damage have been reported.

Russia's air-defense forces successfully intercepted at least one drone approaching Moscow, according to Sergei Sobyanin, the city's mayor, who shared the updates via Telegram. Preliminary information suggests that the debris caused no damage or casualties in the Ramensky district.

Additionally, debris from the downed drones triggered several brief fires in the Lipetsk region in southwestern Russia, though no injuries occurred, confirmed the regional governor. Similar attacks reported in the Bryansk and Oryol regions were thwarted by air-defense units. Ukraine has not commented on the events, but it has previously stated such actions aim to disrupt Russia's war efforts.
