More than 500 Ukrainian drones targeted Russia overnight, killing three people in the Moscow region, authorities said on Sunday.
Russia’s Defense Ministry stated that air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 556 drones across more than a dozen regions, including Moscow.
The attack came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pledged on Friday to intensify retaliatory strikes following an earlier Russian attack on Kyiv that killed 24 people.
Moscow and Kyiv have continued exchanging attacks after a prisoner swap and the expiration of a three-day ceasefire on Tuesday.
