Russia Reports 320 Ukrainian Drones Downed, Kramatorsk Struck by Aerial Bombs

They signal growing strain on air-defence systems, prompting a war-crime investigation in Ukraine.

Overview

  • Russian Defense Ministry said overnight its air defenses intercepted and destroyed 320 Ukrainian drones over more than a dozen regions, including Moscow and Leningrad.
  • Moscow Region officials reported fatalities and injuries from the drone attacks with fires in the Chekhov district and updated casualty counts in Novoselki.
  • A drone strike sparked a fire at a Wildberries logistics facility near Krasny Bor and debris partly damaged a Wildberries warehouse near Tver, with staff evacuated and no reported worker deaths.
  • Donetsk authorities said Russian forces dropped two aerial bombs on Kramatorsk that wounded 15 civilians, and the regional prosecutor said the munitions were likely FAB-250 bombs fitted with UMPK glide kits and opened a pre-trial war-crime probe.
  • The incidents highlight ongoing cross-border drone and guided-bomb use that is damaging civilian infrastructure, taxing air defenses, and increasing legal and humanitarian scrutiny in the conflict zone.
