War in Ukraine: several wounded in drone attack on Moscow region

A drone attack targeted the Moscow region overnight, with 620 drones heading towards the area, according to Russian officials. Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said that air defence units intercepted more than 180 of the drones over the capital region.

The drone swarm wounded several people, including a 10-year-old girl, with at least three people injured in the region, according to Moscow region Governor Andrei Vorobyov. A house burned down in the Pavlovsky Posad district, and a drone struck a warehouse east of Moscow belonging to e-commerce giant Wildberries, causing minor damage.

The logistics complex of Wildberries in the Moscow region sustained damage as debris hit the wall of the building, the company said. The attack is one of the biggest Ukrainian air attacks on the Russian capital, with Ukraine and Russia significantly stepping up long-distance attacks in recent times.
