Moscow Experiences Unprecedented Drone Assault, Casualties Recorded
A significant drone attack targeted Moscow and its surrounding areas, resulting in fatalities and injuries, according to local authorities.
Moscow's Mayor Sergei Sobyanin revealed that as many as 73 drones were intercepted en route to the city, with debris from one of the drones causing damage to a building’s rooftop. In response to the attack, one district's train services have been suspended, and significant flight restrictions were enforced at major airports including Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, and Vnukovo, which serve millions annually.
This drone assault marks one of the largest attacks since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine back in February 2022. Notably, the attack coincided with crucial discussions taking place in Saudi Arabia among U.S. and Ukrainian representatives, aimed at negotiating a resolution to the ongoing conflict. Governor Vorobyev shared images on social media, illustrating the damage to residential structures and burnt-out vehicles.
Authorities reported that twelve individuals, including three children, were evacuated due to the strikes. Russia's Defense Ministry disclosed that 337 Ukrainian drones were either intercepted or destroyed during the night's cascade of attacks across Moscow and nine additional regions. As of now, the Ukrainian government has yet to comment on the events. Meanwhile, Russian drone strikes were also reported in Kyiv and other regions, although information on casualties from those incidents remains unclear.
As the situation continues to evolve, the ramifications of this attack underscore the ongoing volatility in the region amidst the protracted conflict.
