Ukraine drones attacked Moscow, Russia claims

Russia's air defense systems intercepted six Ukrainian drones heading towards Moscow, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. Sobyanin reported on the state platform "Max" that emergency services were working where debris fell, adding to the total neutralized drones to 46.

Earlier reports indicated that Russian air defenses were attempting to neutralize "enemy drones" flying toward the capital. This latest incident occurs just days after Russia claimed to have shot down 660 Ukrainian drones between Thursday and Friday, one of the largest numbers recorded since the conflict began.

These drone attacks are part of Ukraine's broader strategy to target Russia's energy infrastructure. Kyiv has intensified its long-range drone strike campaign in recent months, aiming to disrupt revenue sources that fund Russia's ongoing military operations. Last week, a Ukrainian attack reportedly caused a fire at an oil refinery located southeast of Moscow.
