UKRAINE BARRAGE: 450 Drones Shot Down Over Moscow in Largest Attack of War...

Ukraine launched a major overnight drone assault on the Moscow region, killing at least two people and wounding six others, according to Russian officials. The attack damaged an oil refinery in Moscow and forced flight restrictions at two of the capital's airports. Russian air defenses claimed to have intercepted hundreds of drones in what Moscow officials described as an unusually large strike. The incident reflects an escalating cycle of cross-border attacks between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides increasingly targeting energy infrastructure and transport hubs despite earlier claims of restraint. Hours before the drone strike on Moscow, Russian forces conducted their own attacks in Ukrainian territory, killing at least seven people including two children in strikes on the Kyiv and Sumy regions. The intensifying exchange underscores the ongoing brutality of the conflict more than four years after Russia's initial invasion in early 2022.
