Ukraine conducted a significant drone attack on Moscow early Wednesday, resulting in fires across the city and prompting the evacuation of residents from several buildings. Russian officials reported that multiple drones were involved in the “large-scale” assault, targeting residential areas. While no casualties were immediately reported, the attack represents a notable escalation in Ukraine’s campaign, bringing the conflict directly to Russia’s capital. Moscow’s Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that emergency services are working to contain the blazes and assist those affected. The Russian Defence Ministry claimed to have intercepted several drones, but acknowledged some damage occurred. This is one of the most substantial attacks on Moscow since the start of the war, raising concerns about potential retaliation.
