MOSCOW HAMMERED: 450 Drones Downed in Unprecedented Ukrainian Strike on Capital...

Russia's air defense claimed to have intercepted 450 drones aimed at Moscow on September 20, the final day of Russian parliamentary elections, after Ukrainian forces launched what witnesses describe as among the largest coordinated strike on the capital since the war began. A major oil refinery caught fire, a 21-story residential building was hit forcing 400 evacuations, and at least two people died. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy framed the attack as targeting infrastructure financing Russia's war machine, while Moscow's mayor claimed the timing was designed to disrupt voting—a charge that oversimplifies Ukraine's months-long campaign to degrade Russia's energy capacity through long-range strikes.
