A massive Ukrainian drone attack targeted the Moscow region overnight Monday, according to The Zioneer. Specific targets, the scale of the barrage, and reports of interceptions or damage remain unconfirmed. The attack adds to a series of large-scale Ukrainian drone operations against the Russian capital region that The Zioneer has documented in recent months, including barrages that struck oil refineries and logistics hubs and prompted the temporary closure of Moscow's airports. Russia's air defense network has been repeatedly tested by these raids, which have escalated in frequency and size since mid-2026.
