In a bold military maneuver, Ukraine launched its biggest drone strike on Moscow, killing at least one and igniting fires while closing airports as a total of 91 drones targeted the Russian heartland. Russian officials reported over 337 Ukrainian drones downed across the nation, amplifying tensions.

This extensive drone raid coincided with Ukrainian and U.S. officials converging in Saudi Arabia for potential peace talks amid a heated three-year conflict. Russian forces are simultaneously focusing on encircling Ukrainian troops in Kursk, with Moscow's air defenses actively repelling drone intrusions into the city.

Reacting to the largest attack of enemy UAVs, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that defensive measures were effective, while Governor Andrei Vorobyov reported casualties and evacuations. Despite the chaos, Moscow's daily life continues as the city's strategic defenses remain on high alert.
