Ukraine launches one of its largest attacks of war
Moscow says hundreds of drones targeted the Russian capital overnight, with six fatalities in the Russian capital and southern Rostov region. Five people were killed in strikes across Ukraine.
In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, Ukraine launched a major offensive targeting the Moscow region, prompting at least six fatalities, according to Russian Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. Between Saturday evening and 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, over 600 drones entered the Moscow region, of which 201 were neutralized. Moscow recorded three casualties, while Rostov in the southwest suffered five deaths and the capital registered one.
Kyiv Independent reported Ukrainian forces attacked a warehouse of the Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries and industrial sites across the Moscow region. Zelenskyy's statement about civilian infrastructure being targeted echoed the toll of Russian attacks on Ukraine, which have killed at least five and injured dozens. The president detailed casualties in Kryvyi Rih and Sumy, both crucial industrial hubs.
Meanwhile, NATO nations bordering Ukraine faced their own drone threats. Romania's Defense Ministry credited an F-18 for intercepting a drone near the Ukrainian border, while Italy's Eurofighter took down a foreign drone in Latvian airspace. The escalating aerial conflict underscores the intensity of the struggle between Russia and Ukraine.
