Ukraine Launches Drone Barrage on Moscow Amid Escalating Strikes

                                           There were no reports of major damage in Moscow


Russian officials reported that air defenses intercepted dozens of Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow overnight, in one of the largest such attacks in recent months.

Nearly four years into the conflict, the drone war has become a defining feature of the battlefield, extending the fight deep into each country’s territory.
