Moscow targeted with largest drone attack of war with Ukraine: Russian officials

Russian officials on Wednesday said air defenses deterred one of the largest Ukrainian drone strikes on Moscow since the war began in 2022.

"This was one of the biggest attempts of all time to attack Moscow using drones," Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said on his Telegram channel, adding that strong air defenses around the capital prevented the drones from striking their intended targets.

Some Russian social media channels shared videos of drones apparently being destroyed by air defense systems, which then set off car alarms.
