400+ Ukrainian Drones Launched On Moscow In One Of Biggest Attack Waves To Date
The Russian capital has been hit with a massive drone wave from Ukraine, which injured at least ten people - including three Chinese citizens - local authorities say.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has stated that more than 400 UAVs were launched toward Moscow and its suburbs overnight in one of the largest single raids since the war's start.

He described that most of the inbound drones were intercepted far from the capital, and that another 85 were downed as they got closer, but emerging images suggest there were some big strikes that landed.
Russia's RT provided the following details, noting that the biggest impact was felt in the Moscow suburbs:
Regions bordering Ukraine also came under heavy overnight attack from Ukraine, including Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk. These oblasts have frequently been targeted throughout the years-long war. Nationwide, at least four people were killed and dozens more injured in the large-scale drone assault.
Ukraine's President Zelensky has long touted the effectiveness of the drone war on Russian oil depots and energy facilities, but by all appearances this fresh drone attack targeted civilian areas as well as general manufacturing centers. According to more from Russian media:
Crimea was also once again heavily targeted, with the Russian Defense Ministry saying it intercepted many drones over the peninsula between Sunday night and Monday.
Reuters: damage recorded in Podolsk & other areas of Moscow region...
It seems this was Zelensky's 'answer' to the massive Russian ballistic missile attacks on Kiev of the last days.
While the Kremlin over the weekend boasted of new ground advances along the front lines, the war has been focused in the air of late. As for the Ukrainian capital, emergency crews have been scrambling on an almost nightly basis.
Concerning a weekend attack, "The Kyiv government said firefighters were responding to blazes in five different districts after the attack, one of the biggest in recent weeks, hit residential buildings, office and industrial sites, a dormitory and vehicles," The Independent described.
