Moscow region

The Moscow region, encompassing Russia's capital and surrounding areas, has recently been the target of significant Ukrainian drone attacks. These strikes, described as record-breaking, have resulted in casualties, with at least three people killed and over a dozen wounded in one incident. Residential buildings in several suburbs sustained damage, and a notable strike targeted Moscow's oil refinery. The attacks are part of a larger wave of retaliatory actions by Ukraine, with nearly 600 drones reportedly striking across 14 Russian regions. The disruptions extended to air travel, with rolling disruptions at Moscow's airports. The Moscow region's prominence as the nation's capital and its proximity to critical infrastructure make it a significant target, highlighting the escalating conflict and its impact on civilian areas.
