[ColonelCassad] Over 200 drones destroyed on approach to Moscow and St. Petersburg
Last night, Ukrainian drones launched a massive attack on Moscow and St. Petersburg. Over 200 drones have already been destroyed on approach to the capitals.
In the Moscow region, 127 UAVs were shot down. No casualties were reported. Airport restrictions were in effect this evening, and several flights were diverted. One of the largest attacks in recent memory was repelled over the Leningrad Region: 95 drones were destroyed. Debris fell on an apartment building in Vsevolozhsk and a private home in Kirovsk, damaging power lines, causing power outages in the region.
Operations at Pulkovo Airport were limited, and passengers and employees were forced to seek shelter in safe locations. Fires at civilian infrastructure facilities are being extinguished in three districts of St. Petersburg and at an oil terminal.
One person was killed and five were injured in St. Petersburg. VK's data center was also attacked, but it suffered no significant damage. The attack also spread through the Baltics, with one drone crashing in Lithuania. The Moscow air defense center reliably repelled the attack. Over the past 24 hours, more than 500 drones attempted to breach the capital.
