Russia Stops Ukrainian Drones Fired At Moscow During Massive Attack

The strikes on Moscow come amid a Ukrainian offensive in Russia's Kursk region.

Ukraine fired 11 drones Wednesday at Moscow that Russia said were shot down during one of the largest strikes against the capital, while Ukrainian defences reported stopping 50 Russian drones and missiles.

The strikes on Moscow come amid a Ukrainian offensive in Russia's Kursk region -- which Kyiv has said is aimed at bringing the campaign launched by Russia in February 2022 closer to an end on "fair" terms.

"Eleven drones were destroyed" over Moscow and its surrounding region, the defence ministry said.
