The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that 822 Ukrainian drones were destroyed across the country overnight.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported an intense nighttime drone attack on the capital and issued a series of updates within a few hours.
Air defense intercepted more than 600 drones flying towards Moscow, and about 200 were shot down in the region, according to his statements on the state platform MAX.
Moscow Region Governor Andrey Vorobyov described the attack as “one of the most massive drone attacks in recent times” and added that six people were injured in the region.
“A fire broke out in the ‘Wildberries’ warehouse in the Koledino industrial park in Podolsk due to a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) strike,” added A. Vorobyov.
Ukraine is increasingly targeting warehouses associated with the online store “Wildberries,” claiming its strikes are a response to Moscow’s bombing of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. Since mid-July, Ukraine has struck about 20 “Wildberries” warehouses and buildings.
An 83-year-old man was killed when a Ukrainian drone hit a private house in the Moscow region, said A. Vorobyov.
Five people also died in Rostov.
