Russian officials said a Ukrainian drone attack on a Moscow logistics centre killed seven night-shift workers and wounded 24 others. The strike was part of a larger assault involving 370 drones in total, a local official said.

Moscow's mayor said most of the drones launched were intercepted or neutralised by air defences. Still, the strike on the city's logistics infrastructure showed that attacks can penetrate the capital's defensive layers.

Kyiv has defended its strikes on Russian territory as fair retribution for Moscow's four-year war against Ukraine. Both sides have continued exchanging drone attacks, with civilian infrastructure increasingly caught in the crossfire.
