Reports have emerged of a significant Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow overnight, with Russian officials claiming to have intercepted over 140 drones targeting various regions, including the capital city. The attack resulted in one fatality and three injuries, with a video capturing a large explosion and the sound of drones in flight.
The Ukrainian forces appear to have enhanced their long-range drone capabilities, marking the second major drone assault on Russian territory within a short span. The drones were reportedly taken down by Russian air defense systems, with some reaching the Moscow region, including areas near airports.
Notably, the incident led to the tragic death of a 46-year-old woman in the Ramenskoye suburb of Moscow, where the Zhukovsky Airport is situated. Flight operations at several Moscow airports were temporarily halted, causing significant disruptions and long queues.
The escalating drone attacks by Ukrainians coincide with intensified Russian air campaigns targeting Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure. The situation on the battlefield is rapidly intensifying, particularly in the eastern front near Pokrovsk, where constant shelling has been reported.
Medics operating in the conflict zone are facing immense challenges in providing aid to the wounded and evacuating them from the front lines. Despite Ukrainian efforts to resist Russian advances towards Pokrovsk, the overall battlefield remains precarious, with ongoing clashes and advancements by Russian forces.
