Military Logistics Hub Near Moscow Hit in Massive 347-Drone Blitz
Key Points:
- Ukraine conducted a large-scale overnight drone attack targeting multiple Russian regions, including a key military logistics facility near Moscow, just days before Russia's May 9 Victory Day parade.
- The Nara production and logistics complex in Naro-Fominsk, southwest of Moscow, was reportedly struck; this Defense Ministry site is vital for storing and distributing military cargo for Russian forces.
- Russian authorities reported shooting down numerous drones and noted damage to residential buildings in regions like Bryansk and Tver, with several injuries and evacuations.
- The attacks disrupted Russian civil aviation, leading to temporary restrictions at multiple airports, including Moscow’s Vnukovo.
- Amid these tensions, Ukraine rejected Russia’s proposed temporary ceasefire for May 8-9, offering a unilateral silence regime instead, which Russia ignored; Moscow warned of possible massive retaliatory strikes if Victory Day events are disrupted.
