Russia Claims 600 Ukrainian Drones Targeted Moscow Overnight, 3 Hurt
Ukraine has been carrying out strikes deep inside Russia in recent weeks, with drone barrages targeting military, industrial and more recently e-commerce warehouses far from the front line in the war that is in its fifth year.
In the early hours of Sunday, roughly three dozen drones targeted the Moscow region, according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. Sobyanin reported that 201 of the drones were successfully destroyed, while three people were injured near the MKAD ring road, receiving medical attention. The Russian capital's mayor stated that the drones launched from an unspecified location between Saturday evening and 6:30 a.m. local time on Sunday.
This marks a surge in Ukrainian long-range attacks deep inside Russia, with earlier reports indicating strikes on military and industrial facilities, as well as warehouses, in the Moscow region.
