At least seven people have been killed in Russia after what officials called the “largest-scale” attack launched by Ukraine this year.
Some 822 drones were used – 600 aiming for Moscow, according to its regional governor who said the Russian capital had suffered “one of the most massive drone attacks in recent memory”. A warehouse belonging to Russian online retailer Wildberries was hit.
Russian attacks on Ukraine also killed at least seven people and injured more than 39.
Russia has intensified missile attacks across Ukraine in recent weeks, with Kyiv also stepping up drone strikes deep inside Russia.
Five people died in Russia’s south-western region of Rostov following overnight strikes, its governor said.
Officials in Belgorod, which borders Ukraine, said a woman was killed after a civilian bus was struck, while an 83-year-old man died in a drone attack in the Moscow region, according to Governor Andrey Vorobyov.
A Wildberries warehouse in Koledino, 25km (15.5 miles) from the centre of Moscow, was hit in an attack, injuring three, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said. Videos shows a fire and a large plume of smoke over the warehouse.
Wildberries, known as Russia’s version of Amazon, has been repeatedly targeted since July. Kyiv said at the time it was targeting logistics hubs used by Russians to buy military equipment and disrupting supplies to the Russian army.
Ukraine’s defence ministry said the latest attack meant that seven out of 10 of the largest Wildberries logistics centres had been “disabled”.
Both warring sides accuse each other of targeting civilians.
In Ukraine, a 66-year-old man and 64-year-old woman died after a private house was hit by a guided aerial bomb in the Zaporizhzhia region, officials said.
Two more people were killed in Kryvyi Rih, a city in Dnipropetrovsk.
Officials in Sumy, Donetsk and Kherson also reported one death in each region, including a 51-year-old killed in a drone strike in Sumy.
In Kyiv, air-raid sirens sounded four times overnight as the Ukrainian capital came under Russian attack. At least six people, including a child, were reportedly injured, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
Russia said its attacks on Kyiv on Saturday night targeted a FirePoint facility producing parts for Ukrainian Flamingo missiles and a factory making components for drones.
