Ukraine Launches Massive Drone Wave Targeting 20 Russian Regions
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on May 7, 2026, that its air defense systems intercepted 347 Ukrainian drones overnight. The attack, one of the largest of the conflict, targeted 20 Russian regions including the Moscow area. This aerial offensive followed Moscow's rejection of a Ukrainian-proposed ceasefire ahead of Russia's Victory Day celebrations. While most drones were destroyed, the scale of the operation indicates a major effort by Kyiv to overwhelm Russian domestic air defenses.
