Ukraine has hit Moscow and the surrounding region with 400 drones overnight, Russian officials said on Monday.
At least two people are reportedly wounded and several buildings were set ablaze in the strikes.
“Overnight, air defence forces and electronic warfare systems repelled a drone attack on Moscow region. The main consequences were recorded in Podolsk, Domodedovo, and the Odintsovo district,” Andrei Vorobyov, the governor of the Moscow region, wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
The attack took place between 8:30pm (5.30pm GMT) and 5am (2am GMT).
It follows Ukrainian attacks on three oil depots and a fuel facility in Russia’s southern Stavropol region this morning, confirmed by President Volodymyr Zelensky this morning. He said three Russian “shadow fleet” tankers were also hit in the Black Sea.
It comes after a major Russian aerial assault on Kyiv and other cities on Sunday, which Ukrainian authorities said killed at least six people and injured 16 others.
The attack on Ukraine’s capital is believed to be the biggest ballistic missile attack of the war.
