Drone attacks in Russia

Lately, drone attacks in Russia, not limited to border regions, have become quite frequent. For example, at the end of July, an explosion occurred in Trubchevsk, Bryansk region, causing a power outage. According to residents, an unknown drone attacked a police department building.

According to The New York Times, drone attacks on Moscow and other regions of Russia are reducing the Kremlin's ability to wage war against Ukraine. They have notably intensified divisions among Russian commanders.
