Ukraine targets Moscow in 'one of largest ever' drone attacks

Ukraine has launched one of its largest drone attacks on Moscow, as it presses on with a major incursion into Russia's Kursk region, Russian authorities said. Russia's Ministry of Defence said on Wednesday that air defence forces shot down 11 drones over Moscow and its surrounding region, with some reportedly downed over the city of Podolsk some 38km (24 miles) south of the Kremlin. "This is one of the largest ever attempts to attack Moscow with drones," Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on the Telegram messaging app. No damage or casualties were reported, he said in an earlier post. Drone attacks on Moscow are rare.
