Overnight Ukrainian Drone Attacks Kill 4, Injure Dozens Across Russia

At least four people were killed and around 30 injured in overnight Ukrainian drone attacks across Russia, officials said Monday. The strikes targeted three regions bordering Ukraine — Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk — as well as areas near Moscow.

In the Bryansk region, a firefighter died while responding to a blaze caused by the attack. Moscow region Governor Andrei Vorobyov reported that several homes and civilian infrastructure sites in the Podolsk, Domodedovo, and Odintsovo districts were set ablaze and damaged. At least 10 people, including a child, were wounded, he added.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said it intercepted a total of 381 Ukrainian drones across the country and annexed Crimea between Sunday night and Monday morning. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that more than 400 ‘enemy drones’ were launched at the Moscow region alone, with ‘most’ intercepted.

Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer, evacuated its logistics center in the Podolsk district as a precaution but later resumed normal operations. The attacks mark one of the largest coordinated drone offensives on Russian soil since the conflict began.
