Moscow sees one of Ukraine’s largest drone attacks as fighting rages in Kursk and eastern Ukraine

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian authorities say Moscow has come under one of the largest attacks by Ukrainian drones since the start of fighting in 2022, and that it destroyed all of them. The Ministry of Defense said on Wednesday that Russia downed 45 Ukrainian drones overnight. Russian social media channels shared videos of drones apparently being destroyed by air defense systems, which then set off car alarms. The attacks come as Ukrainian forces keep up a push into Russia’s western Kursk region. The incursion has boosted morale in Ukraine but also opened up another front in a fight where Ukrainian forces were already badly stretched.
