Ukraine launched over 600 drones at Moscow and surrounding areas overnight, continuing its massive attacks on targets in Russia after even larger weekend strikes. Drones are believed to hit a warehouse of Russian e-commerce company Wildberries and other facilities near Moscow, reported. At least three people were injured in attacks.
But several other Russian-controlled regions, including the occupied Crimea, also reported heavy attacks, with the Crimean peninsular’s power supplier reporting power outages. Meanwhile, at least 10 people died in a Russian strike on Pechenigy, a village in the Kharkiv region, which Ukraine says hit private houses and shops. I will bring you more updates during the day.
