Ukraine Drone Attack Damages Industrial Facility Near Moscow, Over 100 Drones DownedPreviousNext

Russian authorities reported a Ukrainian drone attack on an industrial facility in the Nizhny Novgorod region near Moscow, with over 100 drones intercepted and significant damage to the site. Regional governor Gleb Nikitin said there were no casualties according to preliminary information. The facility's exact identity and damage extent remain unspecified, though Ukrainian media suggested it was a major refinery. The incident follows ongoing strikes by both sides targeting energy infrastructure amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
