Russia said Sunday it had repelled a “massive” Ukrainian drone attack on energy and fuel plants in Moscow and 14 regions, one of the largest such strikes since the start of the two and half-year conflict.
Ukraine has repeatedly sent drones to strike Russia’s energy infrastructure in recent months, in retaliation for Moscow’s missile attacks that have hugely damaged its own energy network since the Kremlin first sent troops into the country in February 2022.
“It is entirely justified for Ukrainians to respond to Russian terror by any means necessary to stop it,” President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on Facebook.
The latest barrage saw 158 drones fired, most of them downed over the regions of Kursk, Bryansk, Voronezh and Belgorod which border Ukraine, Russia’s defense ministry said.
Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that 10 drones had targeted various areas in and around the capital.
