Ukraine launches hundreds of drones in deadly attack targeting Russia, Moscow says
LONDON and MOSCOW -- Ukraine launched overnight more than 550 drones targeting more than a dozen Russian regions, including Moscow, Russian officials said, in a deadly attack that's among the largest-scale aerial assaults aimed at the capital region since the war began.
Ukraine launched some 556 drones that were "intercepted and destroyed" over a nine-hour period ending early on Sunday, the Russian Ministry of Defense said on the Telegram messaging app. At least another 30 drones were intercepted in the two hours after that message, the ministry said in an update.
At least three people were killed and about a dozen others were injured in the Moscow region, local officials said. Reuters reported that the death toll had climbed to four.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that the attacks were a response to Russia's ongoing drone and missile launches aimed at cities around Ukraine. He added that Kyiv's strikes were "entirely justified."
