Moscow region
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, from 00:00 to 5:30 a.m., the Russian air defense allegedly destroyed and intercepted 35 drones over the territory of the Moscow region.
Ukraine's strikes on Russian territory
Ukraine regularly attacks military targets such as factories, ammunition depots, logistics facilities, and oil refining enterprises on Russian territory to reduce the enemy’s ability to supply the army and wage war.
Recently, long-range drones of the Security Service of Ukraine attacked two defense industry factories deep in the Russian rear — Bazalt and Splav.
