The Russian Foreign Ministry has accused Kiev of deliberately launching a raid to coincide with the organizations visit
A delegation from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has arrived at a site in Moscow Region that earlier on Tuesday was attacked by Ukrainian kamikaze drones.
The delegation inspected damage to a civilian residential building in the western district of the city of Vidnoye, south of Moscow.
A total of 337 Ukrainian UAVs were shot down over Russian territory overnight, the Defense Ministry reported earlier in the day. The majority were intercepted in the Kursk and Moscow regions, with 129 and 91 drones downed, respectively. In Moscow Region, three civilians lost their lives, and more than a dozen were injured, according to Governor Andrey Vorobyev.
"The OSCE Secretary General [Feridun Sinirlioglu] was taken to the site where the drones fell and exploded so that he could witness the actual reality firsthand, rather than relying on reports, including those prepared by those who sponsor the Kiev regime, that depict a distorted version of events," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday.

She accused Ukraine of deliberately orchestrating the assault to coincide with the visit of the OSCE Secretary General to Moscow.
"This is not the first time that a trip to Moscow by a high-ranking foreign delegation is being accompanied by a Ukrainian drone attack," Zakharova said, adding that viewing the results of the attack would illustrate for Sinirlioglu "the true nature of the Kiev regime."

Moscow has previously accused the OSCE of multiple failures throughout the Ukraine conflict, including a lack of objectivity.
Last year, Russia criticized the OSCE for failing to denounce killings of Russian civilians by Ukrainian forces during raids they conducted in border regions.
