Overview
- Russia’s defense ministry, which reported Sunday that air defenses downed 556 Ukrainian drones over 14 regions including Crimea, offered figures that independent outlets have not verified.
- In the Moscow region, officials said three people died, at least four were hurt, homes and infrastructure were damaged, and flights were disrupted as debris fell near an oil facility.
- Moscow’s mayor said more than 80 drones aimed at the city were intercepted and 12 people, mostly refinery workers, were injured as three residential buildings took damage.
- Ukraine said long‑range drones hit military targets deep inside Russia, including a rare Beriev Be‑200 amphibious aircraft at the Jeisk air base, as President Zelenskyy called the strikes justified after deadly attacks on Kyiv.
- In Sevastopol on Russian‑occupied Crimea, local authorities said 25 drones were shot down and falling fragments severed a high‑voltage line that caused power outages, with no injuries reported.
