20-07-2026 02:51 PM


Ammon News - Ukraine targeted Moscow and the surrounding region with 400 drones overnight, wounding 10 people and setting buildings ablaze, Russian ​officials said on Monday.
In a statement on Telegram, Moscow region ‌governor Andrei Vorobyov said that seven people, including three Chinese nationals, had been wounded in a drone attack on the town of Domodedovo, close to one of ​Moscow's main airports.

The mayor of Domodedovo, Yevgeniya Khrustaleva, said in ​a statement on Telegram that a fire had broken out ⁠at a local industrial park, and that a residential building had also ​been struck.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Kyiv had struck logistical facilities and an ​oil depot in the region of the Russian capital.
Further south, on the Ukrainian border, the governor of Belgorod region said that one person had been killed and ​four injured by a drone attack on a village close to the ​frontier.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said more than 400 "enemy drones" were launched at the Moscow ‌region ⁠between 8:30 p.m. (1730 GMT) and 5:00 a.m. (0200 GMT).
Most were neutralised by air defence systems at a long range, including 85 destroyed while approaching the Russian capital.

Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, said on Monday its logistics centre ​in the Podolsk ​district, also in ⁠Moscow region, had been evacuated as a precaution but later resumed normal operations.

On Saturday, waves of Ukrainian drone ​attacks killed seven Wildberries warehouse workers and injured dozens more, ​while ⁠another attack sparked a fire at an oil depot in the wider Moscow region.

Ukraine has accused Wildberries of retailing military supplies used for Russia's war ⁠effort.

The ​Russian Defence Ministry said air defence systems ​had shot down 381 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions and the Black Sea and the Sea ​of Azov overnight.
