Ukrainian drones struck the Dubna Space Communications Center in Moscow Oblast overnight and Tuesday morning, according to Russian-affiliated Telegram channels. Russian authorities acknowledged damage to an administrative building; Moscow airports were temporarily closed. Ukrainian UAVs were also reported over Tula.
Ukrainian UAVs struck the Dubna Space Communications Center, located in Moscow Oblast, in a second attack this week, reports from Russian-affiliated Telegram channels state. The strike occurred overnight and concluded Tuesday morning, causing damage that Russian authorities described as affecting an 'administrative building' on the site.
Moscow's airports suspended all flights during the raid, with Russian air defense tracking approximately 60 Ukrainian drones over the capital region. Ukrainian UAVs were also sighted over Tula Oblast, though the intended target there was not specified.
The strike follows a similar attack on the Dubna facility early Tuesday, June 23, which The Zioneer reported caused significant damage without disrupting communications or injuring personnel. Moscow has faced repeated drone raids this month, including a large-scale attack on Thursday, June 18, with nearly 200 UAVs that wounded 17 people—the largest such assault on the capital since the war began, according to Ukrainian President Zelensky. The incident remains developing as damage assessments emerge from Russian sources.
