Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said the Russian capital and surrounding area were targeted overnight by more than 400 Ukrainian drones, describing it as one of the biggest such attacks aimed at the region so far.
According to the mayor’s account, the wave of drones was directed toward the Moscow Region during the night. The report suggests Russian air defense systems were engaged as authorities responded to the large-scale incursion.
The claimed attack highlights the growing reach and intensity of drone warfare in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Strikes involving unmanned aircraft have become an increasingly important part of the fighting, with major cities and strategic areas drawing greater attention.
If confirmed, the scale of the overnight operation would mark a significant escalation in pressure on the Moscow area. Further details on the impact of the raid were not immediately clear from the initial official statement.
