Russian forces claim a large-scale drone attack struck Moscow and surrounding areas during an overnight offensive by Ukrainian troops, marking one of the boldest strikes on the capital since the war escalated. The assault reportedly involved hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles, raising concerns over escalation as Ukraine intensifies its campaign against Russian strongholds. Authorities have yet to confirm the extent of damage or casualties, leaving questions about the operation’s strategic intent and Moscow’s response. The incident underscores the growing role of drone warfare in the conflict and the challenges of defending major cities against such attacks.
Russia says 290 drones targeted Moscow and nearby regions in the overnight Ukrainian assault.
