10 injured as hundreds of Ukrainian drones target Moscow region overnight

Ten people were injured in Russia’s Moscow region on Monday after hundreds of Ukrainian drones headed toward the capital, local authorities claimed.

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin claimed on Telegram that Ukraine launched more than 400 drones toward the Moscow region overnight. He said most were intercepted on the outskirts of the capital, including 85 drones that were shot down as they approached Moscow.

The state news agency Tass described the attack as "one of the largest" Ukrainian strikes on the capital in recent years.

Moscow region Gov. Andrey Vorobyov said on the Russian social media platform Max that 10 people were injured, including three Chinese citizens.

He said air defense systems and electronic warfare systems repelled the attack, with the main damage reported in the Podolsk, Domodedovo and Odintsovo districts.

Drone debris damaged several private homes, sparked fires and damaged civilian infrastructure, he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the attack, saying that Kyiv struck logistics facilities and an oil depot in the Moscow region, located more than 400 kilometers (248 miles) from Ukraine’s border.

"We are responding, justly, to every Russian strike against our cities and communities,” he wrote on US social media company X, adding that Ukraine also hit two "shadow fleet" tankers and four cargo ships in the Black Sea.

According to Ukrainian monitoring channels, the Ukrainian strikes hit Wildberries' largest logistics center in the village of Koledino, the Yuzhnye Vorota logistics park in the Domodedovo district, and an oil depot in the settlement of Lvovsky in the Moscow region.

The head of the Domodedovo city district, Evgeniya Khurstaleva, on Telegram only confirmed the attack on Yuzhnye Vorota, saying the fire broke out at the site. Other targets allegedly hit by Kyiv have not yet been confirmed by Russian authorities.

Separately, Russia's Defense Ministry claimed its forces shot down 381 Ukrainian drones over the country, annexed Crimea, and the waters of the Azov and Black Seas.

Ukraine's Air Force, meanwhile, accused Russia of launching two guided aircraft missiles and 94 drones overnight. It said air defenses destroyed or suppressed 81 drones over northern, southern and eastern Ukraine.

Independent verification of the claims remains difficult due to the ongoing war.
