Lethal Drone Strikes Target Moscow Region and Ukrainian Cities in Escalating Exchange
Simultaneous drone and missile attacks across the border resulted in civilian casualties in both Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian long-range drones targeted the Moscow region, reportedly killing five people and damaging residential structures. In retaliation, Russian aerial strikes hit Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk, killing at least five civilians and destroying private homes. This escalation follows Ukraine's increased use of domestic long-range UAVs to target critical infrastructure and administrative centers deep within Russian territory, including the capital region.
