One Killed in Major Ukrainian Drone Attack on Moscow
Casualties reported in Moscow and surrounding areas as drone warfare escalates.
Russian officials have confirmed that a drone attack attributed to Ukraine resulted in one death and three injuries in the Moscow region.
The incident occurred overnight, with the most significant impacts reported in the towns of Vidnoye and Domodedovo.
According to Regional Governor Andrei Vorobyev, the attack caused the destruction of seven apartments in a residential building.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that Ukrainian forces deployed 73 drones during this operation, though he noted that the Russian military successfully intercepted all but a few.
The roof of one structure in the capital was reportedly damaged by debris from the intercepted drones.
In response to the drone strike, Russian authorities implemented flight restrictions at airports in Moscow.
Additionally, services on one district train network were suspended as a precautionary measure.
This drone attack marks one of the most significant escalations since Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The incident occurs in the context of ongoing military engagements and comes just hours before a scheduled meeting in Saudi Arabia involving representatives from the United States and Ukraine.
This meeting is aimed at discussing pathways to a potential ceasefire after over three years of conflict.
