The Ukrainian military targeted Moscow with at least 11 drones on Wednesday in one of the largest attacks on the Russian capital since the war began.
Ukraine reportedly deployed drones to at least five Russian regions as ground forces continued to advance in Russia’s Kursk region. In the past week, Ukraine also has struck three bridges, several airfields, and an oil depot.
Russian officials claim 45 Ukrainian drones were shot down during the attack, including 11 in Moscow, 23 over the Bryansk Region, six over the Belgorod region, three over the Kaluga region, and two over the Kursk region, areas relatively near Moscow.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces shot down at least 50 Russian drones and subdued 16 others in a prolonged attack that started on Tuesday and ended on Wednesday, according to officials.
