Three people were killed in a Ukrainian drone raid on Moscow Region overnight, Governor Andrey Vorobyev has said.<\/p>\n

Air defenses in the area have been repelling a \u201cmajor\u201d<\/em> UAV attack since 3:00 AM local time, Vorobyev wrote in a post on Telegram on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Two men lost their lives when the debris of a downed drone fell on a home construction site in the village of Pogorelki near the city of Mytishchi, northeast of Moscow, he said.<\/p>\n

In the city of Khimki, northwest of the capital, a UAV struck an apartment block, killing a female resident, according to the governor. Another person remains trapped under the rubble, with rescuers working on site, he added.<\/p>\n

Residential areas and infrastructure facilities have also been targeted in other parts of the region, he added.<\/p>\n

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin wrote on Telegram that 12 people in the capital were wounded as a result of the drone raid. A total of 120 UAVs targeting Moscow have been intercepted over the past 24 hours, he added.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian drone incursions into Russia have intensified since mid-March, with Ukraine deploying hundreds of fixed-wing UAVs on almost a daily basis, targeting critical infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, and residential areas.<\/p>\n

Officials in Moscow have described the raids as \u201cterrorist attacks\u201d<\/em> meant to compensate for the setbacks the Ukrainian military has been suffering on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

Russia has retaliated with a long-range strike campaign of its own, targeting dual-use infrastructure, including power grid facilities and military sites in Ukraine with missiles and drones.
