The number of people killed in the major multi-wave assault has risen to three, according to officials
The death toll from a major multi-wave Ukrainian drone attack on civilian sites in the area of the Russian capital has risen to three, after a 43-year-old man succumbed to his injuries in the hospital, Moscow Region Governor Andrey Vorobyov reported on Tuesday.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, a total of 337 Ukrainian drones were neutralized on Tuesday night, with 91 of them intercepted over Moscow Region.
In a Telegram post, Vorobyov stated that the deceased man suffered a stomach wound, a broken shoulder, and a shin injury from shrapnel after drone debris fell into a parking lot. “Doctors fought for his life until the very end,” he wrote.
The man is survived by his wife and five-year-old son. “We will make sure the family is well taken care of,” Vorobyov said.
Like the other two victims of the drone attack, he was an employee of the Russian company Miratorg. A security guard was killed instantly, while two other men succumbed to their wounds in the hospital.
Moscow was hit by the largest-ever wave of Ukrainian kamikaze drones on Tuesday night. Russian air defenses intercepted hundreds of UAVs, according to officials.
At least one residential high-rise in the capital sustained damage from falling debris, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin confirmed. Outside the city, multiple buildings were also damaged, according to Vorobyov.
The Russian Investigative Committee has officially classified the Ukrainian operation as an act of terrorism. Moscow claims Kiev has resorted to such tactics due to setbacks on the battlefield.
First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Aleksey Zhuravlev told RIA Novosti that the “Kiev regime is close to its death throes” and will increasingly desperately attack Russia to escalate the conflict.
The attack came just hours before high-level discussions between US and Ukrainian officials are set to start in Saudi Arabia. The Trump administration has accused Vladimir Zelensky of stalling Washington’s efforts to broker a truce with Moscow by refusing to compromise.
