Russian authorities said they intercepted a significant wave of drone attacks directed at Moscow and surrounding areas during overnight operations. Defence officials reported that over 600 unmanned aerial vehicles were launched toward the region, with air defence systems engaging targets across multiple districts.
The assault represents the latest in a pattern of intensifying drone strikes targeting the Moscow region in recent months. Such attacks have become increasingly frequent, testing Russian air defence capabilities and causing periodic disruptions to civilian infrastructure and transport networks.
No immediate statement regarding casualties or damage assessments was released by Russian officials. The timing and scale of the overnight operation underscores the escalating nature of aerial operations in the conflict zone, with both sides regularly employing drone technology in their military strategies.
Moscow's air defence systems have been repeatedly activated in recent weeks as unmanned aircraft continue to penetrate deep into Russian territory, reaching areas previously considered distant from active military operations.
