Drones Hit Moscow Region in Large-Scale Attack as Fires Break Out and Warehouses Burn

Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow and the Moscow region with hundreds headed toward the capital; incidents included an apartment building hit in Chekhov, fires at a tire plant and dacha communities, and a warehouse fire at 3PL, while Wildberries warehouses continued operating amid strikes. Moscow officials said most drones were shot down before reaching the city, with 81 destroyed near the capital. Russia’s Defense Ministry reported 356 drones shot down overnight over Russian regions and occupied areas, but the total number of drones that actually hit Russia remains unknown since only destroyed drones are disclosed. Ukrainian authorities say strikes target Wildberries warehouses because they store drone components.
