Ukraine Launches Hundreds of Drones Across Russia, Killing at Least 6
The Story
Ukraine launched hundreds of drones across Russia on Sunday, in one of Kyiv's largest aerial attacks of the war, killing at least six people. Russia's Ministry of Defense stated it destroyed 822 Ukrainian drones overnight. Approximately 600 drones were detected heading toward Moscow, with about a third intercepted over the Moscow region. An 83-year-old man died when a drone struck a home in the Moscow region, and a blaze was ignited at a Wildberries warehouse in Podolsk. In the Rostov region, five people were killed in attacks targeting three towns, damaging homes, a railway station, and starting a forest fire. Kyiv has increased its attacks on Russia this year, targeting military industries, energy facilities, and online retail giant Wildberries depots with long-range missiles and drones. These actions have brought the war to the Russian public. Russia also launched drone strikes in Ukraine, destroying homes and damaging a book market in Kyiv.
