Ukrainian forces fire more than 1,000 drones overnight toward targets in Russia, with Moscow’s mayor describing it as the “largest ever” drone attack on the Russian capital. CBS News and PBS NewsHour report that the attacks include hundreds aimed at Moscow, and that the scale of the strike is being highlighted by Russian officials.
PBS NewsHour and Inquirer.net say Moscow’s mayor reports damage tied to the attack, including at the Moscow Oil Refinery and a residential building. Inquirer.net adds that the attack also affects parts of the wider Moscow region, where local authorities report two deaths and around 20 injuries. Across outlets, the focus differs mainly on the level of detail: CBS provides the headline figures and characterization of the strike, while PBS and Inquirer include specific damage and casualty information, attributing it to officials.
Inquirer.net further places the attack in a broader context, noting it occurs as the Kremlin wraps up the third and last day of parliamentary elections. The other outlets do not foreground the elections in their excerpts.
