Russia Reports Two Dead in 'Massive' Ukrainian Drone Attack on Moscow Region
An oil refinery was reportedly struck, flights were suspended at two capital airports, and the Moscow mayor reported intercepting 1,600 drones.
Russian authorities have reported that two individuals were killed following what they described as a "massive" Ukrainian drone attack targeting the Moscow region. The extensive aerial assault also reportedly struck an oil refinery within the capital's vicinity and led to the temporary suspension of flights at two major airports serving Moscow.
The mayor of Moscow characterised the incident as an "unprecedented" attack, stating that approximately 1,600 drones were intercepted during the operation. He further accused Ukraine of attempting to interfere with ongoing elections.
The reported fatalities mark a significant escalation in the impact of such attacks on the Russian capital. The targeting of critical infrastructure, including an oil refinery, underscores the broad scope of the drone operation.
Flight operations at two of Moscow's principal airports were halted as a precautionary measure in response to the drone activity, causing disruptions for travellers. Details regarding the extent of the damage to the oil refinery were not immediately available, beyond the report of it being hit.
This incident follows a pattern of drone attacks reported by Russia on its territory, which Moscow consistently attributes to Ukrainian forces. Kyiv typically refrains from commenting directly on such claims.
