LONDON -- Russia's Defense Ministry said its forces shot down 343 Ukrainian drones overnight, in what appeared to be Kyiv's largest cross-border aerial attack on Russia since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion in 2022.
The ministry reported downing UAVs over 10 Russian regions. Moscow air defenses were firing through the night while facing multiple waves of attack drones, according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. The Defense Ministry said it shot down 91 drones over the capital.
Six drones were shot down near the Kursk nuclear power plant, the ministry said, close to fierce fighting as Moscow's forces seek to eject Ukrainian troops from the western Russian region.
The attack on Moscow was "massive," Sobyanin wrote on Telegram. Gov. Andrei Vorobyov said at least two people were killed and eight injured in the capital.
Several high-rise residential buildings, houses and businesses were damaged by drones or falling debris, Vorobyov said.
