Ukraine launches massive drone attack on Russian energy infrastructure
Russia shot down 158 drones overnight, including 11 over Moscow and
the surrounding region, its Defense Ministry said Sunday, as officials
across the country scrambled to respond to what appeared to be one of
the largest Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia yet.
The assault targeted energy infrastructure, including power plants and
oil refineries, and fires broke out at several facilities, including
in Moscow. Officials said dozens of the drones were shot down over the
Kursk region, where Ukraine launched a surprise incursion on Aug. 6.
Russia still controls part of the region.
