Ukraine unleashed a massive drone offensive against Russia, one of the largest aerial assaults the two nations have faced, according to Ukrainian authorities. The attack, which took place overnight, resulted in at least six fatalities and numerous injuries, as reported by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that over 1,550 attack drones, guided aerial bombs, and missiles were launched at Ukrainian targets last week.
Among the Ukrainian drone attacks, authorities reported that over 800 drones were shot down by Russian air defense forces and electronic warfare units, with many targeting major industrial targets such as warehouses and refineries near Moscow. The governor of Moscow, Andrey Vorobiev, stated that a large fire erupted at a Wildberries warehouse in the Moscow region, the Russian equivalent of Amazon, but no one was injured.
Vorobiev also mentioned that drones were intercepted in 17 regions, primarily in southern and western Russia.
In addition to the drone attacks, Russia continued targeting Kyiv with missiles and drones. Six people were wounded by strikes early Sunday, and Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine was hit by ballistic missiles, with two deaths reported. Ukraine's air defenses did not intercept any of the ballistic missiles fired at them overnight.
