Indian national killed in Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow – embassy

The Russian capital and its suburbs were subjected to a massive UAV raid overnight

Three Indian nationals have been wounded and one was killed in a drone strike in Moscow Region, New Delhi’s embassy in Russia has said.

The incident occurred overnight amid a large-scale Ukrainian kamikaze drone raid on the Russian capital and its surroundings. The attack appears to have been the largest to affect the area in over a year.

India’s embassy described the victims as “workers” but did not disclose where the attack occurred. The diplomats are now “closely cooperating with the company’s management and local authorities” and providing the “necessary assistance” to the victims. 

“Today in the Moscow region, as a result of a drone attack, one citizen of India was killed and three others were injured. Embassy staff traveled to the scene of the incident and visited the victims in the hospital,” the mission said in a statement.
