Ukraine’s Drone Strikes Inside Russia

Last week, the Russian military launched dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as suicide drones against Ukraine. In response, the Ukrainian military launched hundreds of suicide drones against Russia on Tuesday morning.

“The strikes targeted several Russian regions including Moscow and locations in the vicinity,” the British Ministry of Defence assessed in a recent intelligence estimate on the war. “Fires have been reported in Moscow as well as a temporary halt in operations at all four Moscow airports, and the suspension of the railway connection between Moscow and Domodedovo.”

The Russian military claimed to have shot down more than 330 Ukrainian suicide drones, but the Kremlin acknowledged that at least 20 people were killed or wounded by the attack.

“The Ukrainian strikes are the latest in a pattern of increased regularity of Ukrainian UAS strikes deep into Russian territory, emphasising the challenge confronting Russia to protect its infrastructure and strategic assets balanced against protecting its operations at the front line,” the British Ministry of Defence added.
