Breaking: Large Wave of Ukrainian Drones Reportedly Heading Toward Moscow and Other Russian Regions

A large number of Ukrainian drones are reportedly flying toward Moscow and several other regions of Russia, triggering heightened air-defense activity and alerts late Thursday.

Russian authorities have not yet released a complete assessment of the incoming wave, and the number of drones currently approaching Moscow has not been independently confirmed.

The reported attack comes after Russia said it intercepted hundreds of Ukrainian drones during a massive overnight assault earlier Thursday, while Ukrainian strikes also hit targets including an oil refinery in the Yaroslavl region.

Air-defense systems have been activated in several areas as authorities monitor the developing situation.

Further information on interceptions, damage or casualties is expected as officials issue updates.
