Several wounded as 620 drones launched towards Moscow region

Russian officials reported that 620 drones launched towards the Moscow region overnight, causing damage and injuries. Three individuals, including a 10-year-old girl, were wounded in the attack, according to Moscow region Governor Andrey Vorobyov. The incident resulted in the destruction of a house in the Pavlovsky Posad district and minor damage to a Wildberries warehouse east of Moscow.

Ukraine has been increasingly launching long-range drone attacks on Russian targets, with the latest surge pushing civilian casualties to their highest levels since the conflict's early stages in 2022. Despite the ongoing frontline fighting and frozen diplomatic talks, Russia's air defenses managed to destroy over 180 of the drones before they reached their targets.
