Russian officials reported that all incoming\u200b drones targeting the capital were intercepted and destroyed. This\u200c incident underscores the ongoing tensions as Ukrainian forces continue to make advances into Russia&#8217;s western Kursk region. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin described the attack as one of the\u2062 largest attempted against the city, crediting the robust air\u200b defenses for thwarting the \u2063drones.<\/p>\n<p>In total, Russia claimed to have downed 45 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 11\u2064 in the Moscow \u2063region. In parallel, the governor of the Bryansk region reported a mass attack in which\u2063 all 23 drones targeting that\u200d area were also destroyed. Despite heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine, Ukraine has escalated \u2062its drone operations, aiming at weakening Russian military\u2064 capability by targeting\u200b strategic installations including oil refineries and airfields.<\/p>\n<p>The current drone offensive marks a turning point in morale\u2062 for Ukraine, showing surprising success against Russian targets, although it raises concerns\u2063 about the sustainability of Ukrainian gains as they face challenges in the\u2063 eastern Donbas region. Reports indicate \u2062that since the start of renewed \u200cUkrainian attacks on Russian territory, there have been casualties and injuries \u200damong Russian\u200c civilians, further complicating the dynamics of the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, satellite imagery has shown signs of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russian-troops-seize-europes-largest-nuclear-plant\/\" title=\"Russian troops seize Europe\u2019s largest nuclear plant\">ongoing combat<\/a>\u2062 in the region, with significant fires reported near the Seym River, indicating active military engagements. The conflict remains\u200b fluid, with prospects of further developments as both\u200d sides adjust strategies in response to the changing battlefield landscape.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section>\n<p>Moscow came under one of the largest attacks yet by Ukrainian drones since the start of fighting in 2022, Russian authorities reported Wednesday, saying they destroyed all of those headed toward the capital.<\/p>\n<p>The drone attacks come as Ukrainian forces are continuing to push into Russia&rsquo;s western Kursk region.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This was one of the biggest attempts of all time to attack <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/imprisoned-former-marine-russia-urges-biden-admin-take-decisive-action-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moscow<\/a> using drones,&rdquo; Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said on his  channel.
