The attacks on Moscow on Sunday came two days after a Russian missile strike on an apartment building in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv killed 24 persons. The Ukrainian Air Force had described the strike as Russia's biggest barrage of the country since it began its invasion, reported the AP. On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the overnight strikes launched by his country were “entirely justified” retribution for Moscow’s attacks, reported AFP. “This time, Ukrainian long-range sanctions reached the Moscow region, and we are clearly telling the Russians: their state must end its war,” added Zelensky. Moscow Governor Andrey Vorobyov said that the Ukrainian strikes had targeted infrastructure facilities.Within the region, air defence systems reportedly intercepted more than 80 drones overnight, injuring 12 persons. Overall, Russia’s defence ministry said that the air defence systems shot down 556 drones overnight and 30 after dawn, reported AFP.
