In a major escalation of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the Russian officials reported that they have successfully defended the capital city of Moscow against a large drone attack launched by Ukraine. The attack, which targeted the city with a population of over 21 million, was one of the biggest drone strikes on Moscow since the war began in February 2022. The attack comes amidst Russia's advancements in Eastern Ukraine and their ongoing battle to repel Ukraine's incursion into the Kursk region. While the city remains seemingly unaffected by the attack, it marks a significant increase in the use of drones in the conflict between the two nations.
