After long break, Ukraine targets Russian capital in overnight drone attack

Jul 12, 2024

Moscow [Russia], July 12: For the first time in weeks, the Russian capital was targeted in an overnight Ukrainian drone attack.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said the unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down, in a post on Telegram on Thursday. He said the incident had ended without serious consequences as the drone was hit near the small town of Stupino, south of the capital. Moscow is almost 700km from Russia's border with Ukraine and is rarely targeted by Kiev. Sobyanin last reported an attempted attack a month ago. Most strikes occurred last summer, when locations including the Moscow City business centre were hit.
Since then, air defences around Moscow have been massively reinforced. Although Sobyanin said there was no damage to his city, other Russian regions were struck. The Belgorod region on the border with Ukraine was the worst affected. A man was killed in a village when a car was hit by a drone, authorities said. (DPA)
