Ukraine launched more than 400 drones toward Russia's capital Moscow, the city's mayor said on July 7, ahead of a crucial NATO summit in Türkiye in which the war will likely dominate talks.
The attacks underscore Kiev's use of long-range drones in the more than four-year war, with Russian border areas coming under fire and Moscow facing increasing drone attacks.
"From evening until 6:00 am (0300 GMT), more than 430 drones were flying in the direction of Moscow region," Mayor Sergei Sobyanin posted on the state-backed MAX platform.
