Krieg in der Ukraine: Bürgermeister: Ukraine greift Moskau mit 600 Drohnen an
Die Ukraine greift immer wieder Ziele in der Region Moskau an. Nach russischen Angaben waren in der Nacht Hunderte Drohnen in Richtung der Hauptstadt unterwegs.
Moscow. According to Moscow's Mayor Sergei Sobjanin, Ukraine launched an attack on the Russian capital's region in the early hours using around 600 drones. Out of these, 201 were destroyed by the region's anti-aircraft systems, Sobjanin reported on the Telegram platform. Most drones were intercepted before reaching the region, Tass quoted the mayor.
The Ukrainian assault on Moscow appeared to be one of the largest waves of attacks Kyiv had launched so far. Late July, Russian authorities reported 390 drones in one night, while early July saw 452. Sobjanin mentioned three casualties but did not provide details on potential damages. According to Ukrainian news outlet "Kyiv Independent," the attacks hit industrial facilities and a warehouse of the Russian online retailer Wildberries in the Moscow region.
Ukraine had also targeted the retailer's facilities in other parts of Russia recently. Russia retaliated against Ukraine in the early hours, according to reports from Kyiv, using ballistic missiles, glide bombs, and drones. The targets included the capital Kyiv, as well as industrial cities Krementschuk and Krywyj Rih. The claims by both warring parties could not be independently verified at first.
Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian invasion with Western assistance for over four years, primarily using drones for counterattacks on Russian territory.
