600 drones targeted the Moscow region overnight, wounding three people, according to Moscow’s mayor, while Russian forces launched a missile attack on Kyiv that ignited fires in at least two districts, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

The drone assault represented a large overnight strike on Russian territory, reflecting Ukraine’s expanding long‑range attack capability, and the missile strike on Kyiv underscored continued Russian offensive operations in Ukraine.

The Russian capital’s mayor reported that the drone attack persisted through the night and resulted in three injuries, though no fatalities were confirmed. In Kyiv, the missile strike caused fires in two districts, prompting emergency response efforts. Ukrainian officials have not specified the origin of the drones, but the attack aligns with recent claims of increased long‑range operations against Russian infrastructure.

The incident raises questions about the durability of Russian air defenses and the potential escalation of cross‑border hostilities.
