A massive Ukrainian drone attack killed at least three people in the Moscow area overnight, Russian authorities said, in what was reported as the largest and most widespread drone attack since the invasion.
In a post on Telegram, Moscow's regional governor, Andrey Vorobyov, said that a woman had been killed after a strike on a private residence on the outskirts of Moscow and that two others were killed in the village of Pogorelki.
The Russian Ministry of Defence said local air defences intercepted 556 Ukrainian drones across the country from Saturday night into early Sunday morning, with a further 30 shot down later on Sunday.
