Drone attack on Moscow region wounds several, 620 drones reported

Russian officials reported that overnight a coordinated swarm of 620 unmanned aerial vehicles targeted the Moscow region, striking several buildings and wounding multiple civilians. The attacks, which unfolded early Monday, prompted a rapid response from local air‑defence units; Moscow’s mayor later confirmed that more than 180 of the drones were intercepted before they could reach their intended sites. Emergency services attended to the injured and began assessing damage to the affected structures, while authorities initiated investigations into the source of the aerial assault.

The large‑scale drone incursion underscores the heightened security challenges facing the Russian capital amid ongoing regional tensions. Officials emphasized that the air‑defence system’s performance prevented a higher casualty count and further infrastructural loss. The incident is being monitored closely as authorities seek to bolster defensive measures and prevent similar attacks in the future.
