At least four people were killed in a major overnight drone attack by Ukraine on the Moscow region, marking the largest assault on the Russian capital in over a year. Among the dead are three individuals from the Moscow region and one from the Belgorod area, local officials reported.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy vowed retaliation after Russia's severe drone and missile strikes on Kyiv. Confirming the reprisal, Zelenskiy shared a video on social media showcasing the drone activity and fire damage. The Ukrainian President argued the strikes were justified responses to Russia's ongoing war attacks.
Russia's foreign ministry accused Kyiv of targeting civilians, though both nations rebuff claims of intentionally harming non-combatants. Ukraine aims to disable Russian infrastructure through increased drone assaults. This latest attack intensified conflict dynamics, with Moscow's defense systems thwarting numerous drones throughout the night.
