Russia has foiled more than 20 Ukrainian drone attacks over Russian territory in the past day, including on the capital, Moscow, officials said Sunday, a day after it launched its largest drone attack against the Ukrainian capital since the full-scale invasion began. <\/p>\n
According to Russia\u2019s Ministry of Defense, 24 Ukrainian drones have been destroyed over the territories of Moscow, Tula, Kaluga, Bryansk and Smolensk oblasts in the past 24 hours. <\/p>\n
In addition,\u00a0Russian air defenses intercepted 53 Ukrainian drones during the same period over Ukrainian areas under Russian control, according to the ministry. They included Kharkiv, Kherson, the self-proclaimed Donetsk People\u2019s Republic (DPR) and the\u00a0self-proclaimed Luhansk People\u2019s Republic (LPR). <\/p>\n
\u201cSeventeen HIMARS MLRS (multiple launch rocket systems) projectiles have been intercepted over the past 24 hours,\u201d the ministry added. <\/p>\n
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said no injuries or damage were reported as a result of the wreckage from intercepted drones. <\/p>\n
In the Russian region of Tula, one of the drones crashed into an apartment building, resulting in damage to windows and one person receiving a slight cut, according to the Tula governor, Alexey Dyumin. <\/p>\n
An attack that targeted the DPR damaged the power system and left parts of the region without power overnight, according to the DPR\u2019s Russian-backed head, Denis Pushilin. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe situation is difficult,\u201d Pushilin said on Telegram on Sunday, adding: \u201cThe work is ongoing, everything is being done to return the heat and light for our citizens as soon as possible.\u201d <\/p>\n
Russia\u2019s Ministry of Defense also said Sunday that its air defenses had destroyed two S-200 anti-aircraft missiles in the air over the Sea of Azov at around 11 a.m. Moscow time (3 a.m. ET). <\/p>\n
The attacks follow Russia\u2019s largest drone attack against Ukraine\u2019s capital of Kyiv since the start of its full-scale invasion, according to local officials. A Telegram post from Ukraine\u2019s Air Force said it had intercepted 71 Shahed drones across six regions of Ukraine, with the vast majority in Kyiv region. It described the attack as a \u201crecord number\u201d of drones. <\/p>\n
The attack on Kyiv left 77 residential buildings and 120 establishments in the city center temporarily without power Saturday, before supply was restored later in the day. <\/p>\n
As the weather grows colder, Ukraine faces fears of a repeat of events from last winter, when Russia carried out a sustained campaign of attacks on its energy infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n
