Ukraine levied its largest drone strike against Moscow since the war began, killing one woman, destroying dozens of homes and rerouting some 50 flights after videos emerged showing the attack.
Ukraine on Tuesday hit the Moscow region in series of drone strikes that killed one woman, destroyed dozens of homes and forced some 50 flights to be rerouted from the Russian capital, reporting by Reuters confirmed. The attack on Moscow was reportedly the largest drone strike levied by Kyiv at Russia since the war began more than two and half years ago.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov suggested the attacks levied at the Russian capital, which has a population of some 21 million, were not legitimate military targets. 'There is no way that nighttime strikes on residential neighborhoods can be associated with military action,' he told reporters. 'The Kyiv regime continues to demonstrate its nature.
Energy officials in June were sounding the alarm that Ukrainians may only have access to electricity for as little as six hours a day during this upcoming winter, depending on how much of the grid can be repaired. Shmyhal on Tuesday did not specify how much of the grid has been restored or what lengths of power outages Ukrainians may be forced to endure this winter.
