Moscow says 600 drones targeted region overnight
Moscow says hundreds of drones targeted the Russian capital overnight, while NATO jets were again called into action farther south. The incidents underline the growing reach of drone warfare well beyond Ukraine itself.
Moscow reports that hundreds of drones targeted the region overnight, resulting in three injuries, according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. The drones, numbering 600, were detected between Saturday evening and 6:30 a.m. local time on Sunday, with 201 successfully destroyed. The injured individuals sustained wounds in the MKAD ring road area and are receiving medical treatment.
This marks a significant escalation in long-range attacks by Ukraine, which has been targeting military, industrial facilities, and warehouses in the Moscow region. Meanwhile, NATO countries along Ukraine's borders, including Romania, have also faced drone incursions, with Romania's Defense Ministry reporting the shooting down of a Spanish F-18 jet that intercepted a drone entering Romanian airspace from Moldova near the Ukrainian border.
