On the 10th (local time), Ukraine launched its largest drone attack targeting Moscow, the capital of Russia. This is the largest drone attack attempt by Ukraine on Moscow since Russia initiated its "special military operation" in Ukraine in February 2022. Ukraine was also subjected to drone attacks from Russia.

The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. Moscow time, it thwarted a "terrorist attack attempt by the Ukrainian regime," shooting down a total of 70 drones, 34 of which were over Moscow's airspace. Additionally, 14 drones were shot down in Bryansk Oblast, 7 in Oryol Oblast, 7 in Kaluga Oblast, 6 in Kursk Oblast, and 2 in Tula Oblast.

Andrey Vorobyov, Governor of Moscow Oblast, explained that as drones crashed, houses in the villages of Ramenskoye and Stanovoye caught fire, and a 52-year-old woman was hospitalized with burns on her face, neck, and hands.

Ramenskoye is located 45 km from the Kremlin, the official workplace of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In September, 20 drones were shot down there, which was the largest scale at that time.

Separately from the Ministry of Defense's announcement, Andrey Klychkov, Governor of Oryol Oblast near Moscow, said on Telegram that a total of 10 drones were shot down over Oryol's airspace that day. The Russian Ministry of Defense also reported that during the night, 23 drones were shot down in border areas including Bryansk, Rostov, Belgorod, and Kursk Oblasts.

Meanwhile, Ukraine also reported being attacked by Russian drones that day. According to Reuters, the Ukrainian military announced that out of 145 Russian drones launched overnight, 62 were shot down by air defenses, 67 were missed, and 10 flew toward Russia, Moldova, and Belarus.
