MOSCOW PLUNGED INTO DARKNESS as Russia’s Cap…
MOSCOW — A multi-pronged, unprecedented wave of Ukrainian drone strikes penetrated deep into the Russian heartland over the weekend, striking critical energy infrastructure, collapsing massive logistical networks, and plunging sections of the capital region into darkness. The assault represents one of the most significant and coordinated aerial campaigns against Moscow since the outbreak of hostilities, shattering the illusion of safety that Russia’s political and economic elite have carefully maintained for years.
According to municipal authorities and eyewitness accounts, the capital region was subjected to a relentless bombardment that tested the limits of the Kremlin’s heavily fortified air defense networks. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin stated that air defense units intercepted dozens of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on the immediate outskirts of the city. However, the sheer volume of the assault—estimated by Russian military officials to exceed 370 drones nationwide overnight—overwhelmed defensive parameters, allowing several low-flying strike craft to find their marks against high-value strategic targets.
