Moscow Drone Assault and Retaliation | Durham News

Moscow braced for a massive drone onslaught over the weekend, with over 200 intercepted drones targeting the capital—part of a broader wave of 600 drones aimed at the Moscow region. While no casualties were reported in the city, debris from downed drones forced emergency crews into action. One fatality occurred in the Moscow region when a drone struck a residential building. Russia’s Defense Ministry boasted intercepting 800 Ukrainian drones across 16 regions, including Crimea and the Black Sea, while separate strikes killed in Rostov and Belgorod. Ukrainian forces retaliated by hitting a Wildberries logistics warehouse south of Moscow, a strike claimed by a Ukrainian drone group. In response, Russian airports imposed temporary flight restrictions amid ongoing Russian long-range strikes that hit 13 locations in Ukraine—including Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, and Sumy—with President Zelenskyy pleading for international air defense support to shield civilians and infrastructure.
