At least one man has been killed in the attacks, officials say
Nearly 270 Ukrainian kamikaze drones were shot down over more than two dozen Russian regions on Saturday, the Russian Defense Ministry said. Some UAVs were intercepted as far as Chelyabinsk Region in the Urals, nearly 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
At least one person, a man in his 70s, was killed in the Moscow Region, Governor Andrey Vorobyev said.
According to the Defense Ministry, Ukraine launched more than 600 drones over the past 48 hours. On Friday, a drone strike in Belgorod Region killed two teenagers riding a motorcycle, while three people were killed the previous day in two separate attacks on cars.
Ukraine has stepped up strikes deep inside Russian territory in recent months, targeting factories, oil depots, and port infrastructure, while Russian forces have carried out strikes on Ukrainian military sites, industrial plants, and the power grid.
Last month, the Russian Defense Ministry released what it said were the addresses of companies in European countries supplying Ukraine with drone technology and warned of a potential "sharp escalation of the military and political environment across the European continent."
