Ukraine launched its largest drone strike on Moscow since the war began, sending 34 drones toward the capital on Sunday. Russian air defenses intercepted many of the drones, while others forced flight diversions at major Moscow airports. At least one injury was reported, with ongoing assessments of infrastructure damage.
This strike underscores the escalating conflict as Ukraine uses drones to disrupt Russia’s military assets and supply chains, targeting airfields, radar stations, and strategic sites. Moscow has bolstered its defenses with advanced anti-drone systems, though recent attacks show Ukraine’s increasing capability in drone warfare.

Internationally, Ukraine’s resistance garners Western support, while Russia maintains limited alliances. The shift toward drone warfare adds complexity to efforts for a peaceful resolution.
