Ukraine launches biggest drone attack yet on Moscow

Ukraine launched a major drone attack on Moscow and five other Russian regions Sunday, officials here reported, injuring one person and forcing three airports to temporarily halt operations.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defense systems intercepted 84 Ukrainian drones over the Moscow, Bryansk, Oryol, Kaluga, Kursk and Tula regions. Thirty-four of those drones were shot down over the Moscow region, the ministry said — making it the largest Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow since Russia invaded the country more than two years ago.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported drones being shot down shortly after 7 a.m. local time. Andrey Vorobyov, governor of the Moscow region, said in a Telegram post that there had been a “massive drone attack.” A 52-year-old woman was hospitalized with shrapnel injuries and burns to her face, neck and hands and was in intensive care, he said.
