Ukraine launches 637 drones toward Moscow, mayor says, with Wildberries facility hit

Ukrainian officials reported over 600 drones launched at Moscow on Monday night and Tuesday morning, with at least 197 intercepted by Russian defenses. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin stated that the attacks caused injuries and damage to residential areas and the Wildberries warehouse, resulting in a minor fire. At least three people were hurt in attacks on the Moscow region, including a 10-year-old girl.

Wildberries confirmed minor damage to its logistics facility following the drone assault. Mosoblenergo reported that power outages affected more than 5,000 customers and 46 significant facilities in the Moscow region. Temporary flight restrictions were imposed at all four Moscow international airports. In neighboring regions, three deaths and 13 injuries were reported in the Ryazan and Bryansk regions due to Russian drone strikes.

Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, met with military leaders to discuss the efficacy of long-range operations, noting that damage inflicted on Russia validates their strategy. Russia countered with 147 long-range drone strikes, of which 111 were neutralized. A reported airstrike in northeastern Khakriv village killed at least 10 people, while other regions suffered casualties and injuries.

Ukraine vowed to respond to the Russian aggression, emphasizing the need for international support in imposing pressure on Russia and aiding Ukraine.
