Ukraine launches one of largest drone attacks on Moscow since war began

Ukraine carried out a major drone attack on Russia early Thursday, one of the most significant strikes on the capital since the invasion started over four years ago.

Ukraine launched a new wave of drone attacks on Russia early Thursday, marking one of the largest assaults on the Russian capital since the Kremlin ordered the invasion of Ukraine more than four years ago. The attack targeted multiple locations in and around Moscow, though specific details on damage or casualties have not been released. This strike is considered a significant escalation, as it directly hit the Moscow region, which has rarely been targeted at this scale. The operation demonstrates Ukraine's continued capability to strike deep into Russian territory despite the prolonged conflict. Analysts suggest such attacks could disrupt Russian military logistics and energy infrastructure, but no official confirmation from Russian authorities has been provided. Ukrainian officials typically do not comment on strikes inside Russia, maintaining a policy of strategic ambiguity.
