Biggest UAV Attacks from Ukraine to Russia: 6 Dead

Ukraine launched one of the largest air strikes of the war on Sunday, launching hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) across Russia. At least six people died in the attacks.

Kiev has stepped up its attacks on Russia this year; long-range missiles and swarms of UAVs targeted military industry and energy facilities. It has also increasingly bombed the warehouses of Russian online retail giant Wildberries, causing billions of dollars in damage.

Meanwhile, Ukraine also came under Russian attack; Drone strikes destroyed houses and set fire to a book market, one of Kiev's landmarks.

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it destroyed 822 Ukrainian UAVs during the night. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said that approximately 600 UAVs were detected heading towards the Russian capital and one-third of them were destroyed in the Moscow region.

Local Governor Andrey Vorobyov announced that an 83-year-old man died in an attack by a Ukrainian drone on a house in the Moscow region. It also confirmed that the Ukrainian attack caused a fire at a Wildberries warehouse in the town of Podolsk.

Five people were killed in a drone attack on three towns in Russia's southwestern Rostov region, local Governor Yury Slyusar said. The attack, carried out by more than 150 drones, damaged several houses and a train station and sparked a forest fire.
