Ukraine has launched one of its largest aerial attacks on Russia, with hundreds of drones targeting Moscow and other regions. According to Live Mint, at least six people were killed in Ukraine's attacks on Russia. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said around 600 drones were detected heading towards the Russian capital, with about one-third of them destroyed over the Moscow region.

The attacks caused damage and casualties in several areas, including the Moscow region where an 83-year-old man was killed when a Ukrainian drone struck a private home, according to regional Governor Andrey Vorobyov. A Ukrainian drone attack also sparked a fire at a Wildberries warehouse in Podolsk. In the southwestern Rostov region, more than 150 drones targeted three towns, killing five people, Governor Yury Slyusar said.

Russia's Defence Ministry said its forces destroyed 822 Ukrainian drones overnight, in one of the largest reported drone barrages of the war. Kyiv has stepped up its attacks on Russia this year, with long-range missiles and swarms of drones targeting military industries and energy facilities, as reported by PBS NewsHour.
