Ukraine sent waves of drones deep into western Russia in nighttime attacks that lasted more than four hours
Russian authorities did not report any casualties from Wednesday’s deluge. The airport in the Pskov region, which is located about 700 kilometers north of the Ukraine border and 700 kilometers west of Moscow, suffered the most damage. Unconfirmed media reports said up to 20 drones may have targeted the facility.
Other regions hit in the barrage were Oryol, 400 kilometers south of Moscow; Ryazan, which is 200 kilometers southeast of Moscow; and Kaluga, lying 200 kilometers southwest of Moscow; as well as Bryansk, which borders Ukraine, and the region surrounding the Russian capital, according to the Russia Defense Ministry. Minor damage was reported in those areas.
Ukraine’s minister of digital transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, said his country now has drones with a range of up to 500 kilometers , though he did not take responsibility for any attacks inside Russia or on Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014. Two security guards, ages 26 and 36, were killed and another person was injured by falling debris, Serhiy Popko, the head of the Kyiv military administration, wrote on Telegram.
“Look where it hit, look what happened to the house,” she told The Associated Press. “Garages are on fire. We don’t know how many cars and garages were destroyed because firefighters and police won’t let us in.”
