Russia claims it downed a record 1,671 drones—as fires burn across Moscow Oblast
Russia claims it downed a record 1,671 drones, while fires burn across Moscow Oblast. A drone struck a Wildberries warehouse, but this one caused no major fire as others had in previous strikes.
Why it matters
The record number of downed drones and fires in Moscow Oblast indicate a significant escalation in drone attacks, potentially straining Russian air defenses and impacting civilian infrastructure.
What's unclear
- What was the extent of the fires and damage across Moscow Oblast?
- Were there any casualties or injuries from the drone strikes?
- How does this compare to previous drone attack waves in terms of scale and impact?
