At least four people were killed after Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack on several Russian regions, including Moscow, in what officials described as the biggest drone assault in more than a year.

Russian authorities said on Sunday that three people were killed in the Moscow region, while another person died in Belgorod near the Ukrainian border.

Moscow region Governor Andrei Vorobyov said a woman was killed after a drone hit a house in Khimki, north of Moscow.

Rescue workers were searching the rubble for another possible victim.

He added that two men were also killed in the village of Pogorelki in the Mytishchi district.

Vorobyov said the attacks damaged apartment buildings and infrastructure facilities.

Russia’s state news agency TASS, citing Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, reported that air defence systems shot down 81 drones targeting the capital overnight.

Sobyanin said 12 people were injured, most of them near Moscow’s oil refinery, which continued operating without disruption.

Three homes were also damaged.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence said it intercepted 556 drones across the country overnight and into Sunday morning.

Sheremetyevo Airport, Moscow’s largest airport, said drone debris fell on its grounds but caused no damage.
