Ukraine launched scores of drones at the Moscow region on July 20, sparking fires and wounding at least 10 people, Russia said.

The strikes came after Russia hit Kiev with ballistic missiles on July 19 and after Ukrainian strikes on e-commerce warehouses outside Moscow killed eight people on July 18.

Kiev has for months intensified its retaliatory strikes on Russia, causing fuel shortages and disrupting ordinary life more than ever during Moscow’s more than four-year offensive in Ukraine.
