Ukraine drone attack Russia (Img AI Generated)
New Delhi: On Sunday, Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on Russia, affecting areas near the Russian capital, Moscow. Six Russian citizens were killed and a dozen injured in the assault. This marked one of Ukraine's largest attacks on Russia during the four-and-a-half-year-long war.
Meanwhile, a Russian missile strike killed one person at the ArcelorMittal steel plant in Kryvyi Rih—a company owned by Indian industrialist Lakshmi Niwas Mittal. This plant is Ukraine's largest steel producer; operations have been halted following the latest attack.
Ukraine launched approximately 600 drones targeting Moscow in the recent offensive. While Russian air defense systems destroyed most of them in mid-air, some caused damage on the outskirts of the capital. An 83-year-old person died in the Moscow suburbs due to a Ukrainian drone strike.
A Wildberries warehouse in the nearby town of Podolsk was also targeted. Additionally, three cities in the Rostov region were hit by Ukrainian drones; attacks involving over 150 drones damaged numerous homes and a railway station.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that 822 drones were destroyed in the air between Saturday night and Sunday. On Sunday, a Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih killed two people and injured 14. Another person died in a Russian attack in Sumy.
Russian strikes also claimed the lives of a man and a woman in the city of Zaporizhzhia. In Kyiv, six people were injured and fires broke out following Russian attacks. In a separate incident, a NATO F-18 fighter jet shot down an unidentified drone that had entered the airspace of neighboring Romania. Ukraine has been intensifying its attacks on Russia throughout the current year. Over the past six months, Ukraine has launched attacks using drones and missiles, striking targets more than a thousand kilometers deep inside Russian territory.
These strikes have targeted Russian military installations as well as oil and gas facilities. Furthermore, Wildberries—Russia's largest online company—has also been in Ukraine's crosshairs for the last month and a half; by targeting around two dozen of its warehouses, Ukraine has inflicted losses amounting to billions of dollars on the company.
