Tue Mar 11 11:31:18 UTC 2025: ## Massive Drone Attack Targets Moscow, Killing Three
**MOSCOW, Russia** – A large-scale drone attack targeted Moscow early Tuesday, resulting in the deaths of three people and injuries to three others, according to Russian officials. The Russian Ministry of Defence claimed its air defenses intercepted 337 drones across ten regions. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed the attack, stating that air defenses repelled a “massive attack.” Drone debris damaged at least seven residential units in the Moscow suburbs.
The attack, hundreds of kilometers from the Ukrainian border, comes ahead of crucial talks in Saudi Arabia between Ukrainian and U.S. officials. Ukraine plans to present a proposal for a partial ceasefire with Russia, aiming to regain support from the U.S., which has recently suspended military aid following a strained White House meeting.
A Ukrainian official, Andriy Kovalenko, described the drone attack as “the largest in history,” suggesting it should pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to accept Kyiv’s ceasefire proposal. Kovalenko stated the attack serves as a signal to Putin that he, too, should be interested in ending the aerial conflict. The timing of the attack, coinciding with the upcoming talks, is seen as a significant escalation in the conflict.
