Tue Mar 11 09:26:44 UTC 2025: ## Massive Drone Attack on Moscow Kills One, Injures Three

**Moscow, Russia** – A large-scale drone attack on Moscow early Tuesday morning resulted in one fatality and three injuries, according to Russian authorities. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin called it the largest such attack on the city since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed that Kyiv launched as many as 337 drones overnight, with 91 targeting the Moscow region and 126 targeting the Kursk region. The ministry stated that all drones were intercepted.

The attack caused fires across the city and led to temporary suspensions of air and train travel. Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov reported damage to at least seven residential units, including a wrecked apartment building, forcing some evacuations. A train station in the Domodedovo district also sustained damage. Despite the significant attack, reports suggest that there was no widespread panic in the city center.

Russian authorities have opened a terrorism investigation into the incident. Videos circulating on social media, including those from RT, show residential fires allegedly caused by falling drone debris. The timing of the attack is notable, coinciding with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s meeting with US Senator Marco Rubio in Saudi Arabia to discuss potential peace talks and continued US support.

The attack highlights the escalating drone warfare aspect of the ongoing conflict. Both Russia and Ukraine have invested heavily in drone technology, using them for both offensive and defensive purposes. Russia has implemented extensive air defense systems around Moscow, while Ukraine continues to target Russian infrastructure. The implications of this major attack and the ongoing diplomatic efforts remain to be seen.
