Ukraine launched attack on Moscow region with drones

Ukraine targeted Moscow and the surrounding region with 400 drones overnight, wounding two people ​and setting buildings ablaze, Russian officials said on ‌Monday, Reuters reports.

"Overnight, air defence forces and electronic warfare systems repelled a drone attack on Moscow region. The main consequences were ​recorded in Podolsk, Domodedovo, and the Odintsovo ​district," Andrei Vorobyov, the governor of the ⁠Moscow region, wrote on the Telegram messaging app.

Vorobyov ​said two people were wounded and several civilian infrastructure ​facilities were set ablaze and damaged.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said more than 400 "enemy drones" were launched at the Moscow region ​between 8:30 p.m. (1730 GMT) and 5:00 a.m. (0200 GMT).

Most ​were neutralised by air defence systems at a long range, ‌including ⁠85 destroyed while approaching the Russian capital.

Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, said on Monday its logistics centre in the Podolsk district had been evacuated as ​a precaution but ​later resumed ⁠normal operations.

On Saturday, waves of Ukrainian drone attacks killed seven warehouse workers of Wildberries ​and injured dozens more, while another ​attack ⁠sparked a fire at an oil depot in the wider Moscow region.

The Russian Defence Ministry said air defence ⁠systems ​had shot down 381 Ukrainian ​drones over Russian regions and the Black Sea and the Sea ​of Azov overnight.
