Ukraine launched a major drone attack on Moscow overnight, targeting the Russian capital with over 400 drones, according to Russian officials. The attack resulted in at least 10 injuries, including three Chinese citizens, and caused fires in several buildings in the Moscow region.
The attack, which took place between 8:30 pm and 5 am local time, targeted logistics facilities and an oil depot in the Moscow region, as reported by the Kyiv Independent. Russian officials stated that most of the drones were intercepted by air defense systems, with 85 destroyed while approaching the capital.
In addition to the Moscow attack, Ukrainian forces also targeted an oil depot and logistics facilities in Russia's Moscow Oblast, as well as six Russian vessels in the Black Sea, according to the Kyiv Independent.
The drone campaign is part of a broader strategy by Ukraine to disrupt Russian logistics and military infrastructure. Over the past 40 days, Ukraine's SBU drone campaign has targeted Russian bombers, oil tankers, and military infrastructure, as reported by UAWire.
The attack on Moscow follows a major Russian aerial assault on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities on Sunday, which Ukrainian authorities said killed at least six people and injured 16 others.
Amid the ongoing conflict, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is reviewing 11 candidates to replace Ukraine's commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrsky, according to Bloomberg.
The political crisis in Ukraine has deepened with demonstrations in several cities, including Kyiv, where protesters are demanding the reinstatement of the recently fired defense minister, Mikhailo Fedorov.
Internationally, the conflict continues to draw attention. The FBI director, Kash Patel, is planning a visit to Russia in mid-October, according to Politico.
In other developments, Russian forces have intensified strikes on the Odesa region, using missiles and new types of drones, according to Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Ignat. The attacks have resulted in damage to civilian infrastructure and injuries.
The conflict has also seen a rise in drone warfare, with both sides employing drones for reconnaissance and strikes. Ukraine has been particularly active in using drones to target Russian military assets and infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Russian forces have launched a cluster munition strike on the town of Shevchenkove in the Kupiansk district of Kharkiv Oblast, resulting in one death and eight injuries, according to the Pravda.
Both Ukraine and Russia are preparing for a new prisoner exchange, according to TASS. The exchange is expected to involve both civilians and military personnel, although the exact dates have not been disclosed.
