Ukraine slams Moscow with another massive drone assault

Key Points:

• Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack on Moscow overnight, targeting the Dubna satellite communication center for the second time in a week, with over 60 drones fired late Monday.
• The Dubna center is used for reconnaissance and coordinating Russian military activities in Ukraine, according to President Zelensky, who emphasized the ongoing Ukrainian campaign against Russian invasion operations.
• Russia intercepted 419 drones across 18 regions during the wave of attacks, but the strikes have reportedly created gaps in Moscow’s air defenses, allowing successful hits on key targets including Moscow and St. Petersburg.
• The Kremlin condemned the attacks, claiming civilian casualties including the death of a 6-month-old baby when a drone crashed into a home near Moscow.
• Ukraine’s intensified drone campaign has focused heavily on Russia’s oil and energy infrastructure, contributing to fuel shortages acknowledged by President Putin amid growing domestic discontent over the war.
