Drone Strike Kills One and Injures Eight in Moscow Region The most tragic outcome occurred in the town of Ramenskoye, just outside Moscow. Drones hit two multistory residential buildings, causing fires and debris to fall. Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov confirmed that a woman was killed and five buildings had to be evacuated as a result of the damage. Eight people were also reported injured.
Airports Shut Down Amidst the Chaos As the drone strikes intensified, authorities took action by shutting down three major airports near Moscow—Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky. These closures forced the diversion of 48 flights to other airports. While Vnukovo and Domodedovo, Russia's second and third busiest airports, reopened in the morning, Zhukovsky remained closed as officials cleared drone debris from the area.
Second Massive Drone Attack in September This assault marks the second large-scale Ukrainian drone attack on Russia this month. On September 1, Russian forces claimed they intercepted 158 drones across several regions in what was described as the biggest barrage since the war began. In response, Russia’s Investigative Committee launched a criminal investigation, labeling these strikes as acts of terrorism.
Ukraine Faces Relentless Russian Attacks While Ukraine has increasingly deployed drones to slow Russia’s advances, Russia has not let up in its own attacks. Since the conflict began in 2022, Russia has bombarded Ukraine with missiles, bombs, and its own drones. The United Nations estimates that these strikes have killed over 10,000 Ukrainian civilians.
00:00More than 140 Ukrainian drones targeted multiple regions across Russia overnight, including the capital, Moscow, and surrounding areas.
00:09Officials reported that this massive assault, one of the largest on Russian soil in over two years of conflict, left at least one person dead and eight others injured.
00:19The tragic loss occurred in the town of Remenskoy, just outside Moscow, where drone strikes hit two multi-story residential buildings, sparking fires.
00:29Moscow Region Governor Andrey Vorobyov confirmed that five buildings had to be evaluated due to falling debris.
00:36In response to the attack, authorities temporarily closed three major airports near Moscow, Nakovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky, leading to the diversion of 48 flights.
00:48While the first two airports reopened by morning, Zhukovsky remained closed into the afternoon as law enforcement continued to clear the area of drone debris.
00:57This comes after a similar large-scale Ukrainian drone strike earlier this month.
01:02On September 1st, Russian forces claimed to have intercepted 158 drones in what was described as the most significant barrage since the war began.
01:12Russia's investigative committee has launched a criminal probe, labeling these drone strikes as acts of terror.
01:19Meanwhile, Russia continues its own relentless offensive against Ukraine using missiles, bombs, and drones.
01:27The United Nations estimates over 10,000 civilians have been killed since the conflict erupted in 2022.
01:34Overnight, Ukraine faced another wave of Russian attacks, with 46 Shahid drones and two missiles launched at its territory.
01:43The Ukrainian Air Force successfully intercepted 36 of these drones.
01:48Ukraine has been ramping up its domestic drone production to better confront Russia's war machine.
01:53Ukrainian officials have been vocal about the delay and inadequacy of Western military aid, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urging defense companies to increase production.
02:04On the battlefield, the 1,000-kilometer front line remains fiercely contested.
02:10Ukrainian troops are battling against a larger, better-equipped Russian army, especially in the eastern Donetsk region, while also making bold incursions into Russian border areas like Kursk.
02:21In Moscow, drone debris landed on a private home overnight, but fortunately, no one was injured.
02:28Mayor Sergei Sabayinin said over a dozen drones were headed for the city before being shot down by air defenses.
02:35Russia's defense ministry reported that a total of 144 Ukrainian drones were intercepted and destroyed across nine regions, including areas near the Ukrainian border and deeper into Russian territory.
02:48However, Ukrainian officials have declined to comment on the attack.
02:53As the conflict continues, Russian President Vladimir Putin is strengthening his military alliances.
03:00On Tuesday, Russia began large-scale naval and air drills involving over 90,000 troops and 400 warships, with China also taking part.
03:10Additionally, the U.S. and Britain confirmed that Russia is bolstering its arsenal with Iranian ballistic missiles.
03:17Moscow and its surrounding areas have been frequent targets throughout the war.
03:22Notably, in May 2023, Ukrainian drones were blamed for an attempted strike on the Kremlin, and in August, a drone attack on Moscow's business district shattered windows and high-rise buildings, unsettling residents and revealing gaps in the city's air defenses.
