A massive drone bombardment from Ukraine killed three people and injured 18 in Moscow, Russia’s capital. Russian authorities said this was the largest drone attack since the beginning of the war.
Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on the Russian capital, Moscow, in the early hours of Tuesday, March 11. Authorities reported that the attack was the largest drone assault since the war began, according to Reuters and AP.
Russian authorities stated that three people were killed and 18 were injured during the attack, which caused fires and hit homes. Russians were forced to suspend operations at four airports in the city.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that air defense units destroyed 337 Ukrainian drones throughout the night, 91 of which were over the Moscow region and the rest in nine other regions of the country.
The Ukrainian government has not commented on the attack. The Russian government accused Ukraine of targeting residential buildings, which is prohibited during wartime.
The Moscow region has a population of at least 21 million people, making it one of the largest metropolitan areas in Europe.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, 126 of the Ukrainian drones were shot down in the Kursk border region, which is partially controlled by Ukrainian forces.

The moment a Ukrainian UAV impacted an apartment building in Moscow. If I had to guess, it was probably partially or fully shot down, causing it to fly into it.
The engine sound isn’t loud enough for it to still be operating properly, plus the explosion size isn’t as big as it… pic.twitter.com/XBefr7XFkd
