Ukraine launches massive drone attack targeting Moscow and Russian infrastructure

drone attack Moscow Ukraine war Wildberries energy infrastructure

Ukraine launched one of its largest drone operations of the war, deploying nearly 800 drones against Russian territory, with a primary focus on the Moscow region. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that over 600 drones headed toward the capital, with 180 intercepted. The strikes caused damage to civilian infrastructure and sparked panic in several areas, including the Belgorod region where 20 people were injured.

In Moscow Oblast, a massive fire destroyed a major Wildberries logistics hub in Koledino, with some reports estimating damages exceeding $1.5 billion. Additionally, a Russian missile strike on a village in the Kharkiv region killed at least 10 people and injured 17 others.

On the energy front, a Russian attack forced a DTEK thermal power plant in central Ukraine to halt electricity production. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces conducted retaliatory strikes in occupied Crimea and the Kherson region, targeting drone launch sites, warehouses, and air defense systems near Feodosia.
