Ukraine launched a massive overnight drone attack against Russia, with Russian air defenses shooting down 1,214 drones across 19 regions, about half targeting the Moscow area. No Russian casualties have been reported. The attack prompted a halt to air traffic around Moscow during the night.

The Russian Defense Ministry reported the interceptions, though no independent verification of the scale or impact of the attack has been provided.
