In a significant intensification of the ongoing conflict, Ukraine executed its largest drone attack on Moscow, deploying at least 32 drones on the Russian capital. The strike necessitated the diversion of flights from major city airports, including Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, and Zhukovo, causing injury to at least one person.

Russian air defenses intercepted the drone assault over the Ramenskoye and Kolomensky districts and in Domodedovo, as announced by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. While the attack was thwarted, with no major damage reported, the incident highlights the deepening reliance on drone warfare in the prolonged conflict.

As drone technology becomes a critical component of military strategy, both Russia and Ukraine are innovating and deploying new methods to outmaneuver each other. The ongoing war, which mirrors a World War One-type stalemate, could be seeing its final chapter as tensions and developments continue to rise.
