Russia downs 180 drones in Moscow overnight strikes

Russia downed 180 drones in ​the Moscow region overnight, the capital's ‌mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said on the Telegram messaging app early on Tuesday, in ​one of the biggest Ukrainian ​air attacks on the Russian capital.

Drones hit ⁠a warehouse of Russian e-commerce ​company Wildberries and other facilities near ​Moscow, regional governor Andrei Vorobyov said separately, adding that at least three people, including a ​10-year-old girl, were injured in the ​region.

Wildberries, a frequent target of Kyiv's attacks ‌following ⁠Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, said in a statement that the warehouse experienced minor damage after ​drone debris ​hit ⁠one of its walls.

Overall, 620 drones were heading for ​the region surrounding the Russian ​capital ⁠between Monday evening and 5 a.m. (0200 GMT), according to Sobyanin, and Moscow ⁠was ​temporarily restricting flights at ​its airports.
