Ukraine attacks Moscow with drones on an unprecedented scale
Ukraine struck the Moscow region on September 10 in the largest drone attack ever on the Russian capital, killing at least one woman, destroying dozens of homes and forcing about 50 flights to be diverted from airports around Moscow, Reuters reported.
Russia said it destroyed at least 20 Ukrainian attack drones as they flew over the Moscow region, which has a population of more than 21 million, along with 124 others in eight other regions.
At least one person was killed near Moscow, Russian authorities said. Three of Moscow's four airports were closed for more than six hours and nearly 50 flights were diverted.
Kiev said Russia had earlier attacked the country overnight with 46 drones, of which 38 were destroyed.
Drone attacks in Russia damaged high-rise apartment buildings in the Ramenskoye district of the Moscow region, setting apartments on fire, Reuters reported.
A 46-year-old woman was killed and three people were injured in Ramenskoye, Moscow region governor Andrei Vorobyov said. Ramenskoye, about 50 kilometers southeast of the Kremlin, has a population of about 250,000.
More than 70 drones were also shot down in Russia’s Bryansk region and dozens more in other regions, the Russian Defense Ministry said. No damage or casualties were reported at those locations.
As Russia made advances in eastern Ukraine, Kiev launched a cross-border offensive in Russia's western Kursk region on August 6 and carried out increasingly large-scale drone strikes deep into Russian territory.
