Ukraine fired scores of attack drones at western regions of Russia—including Moscow—in the early hours of Sept. 10, killing at least one person and causing significant material damage, Russian officials said.

“Overnight, during the Kyiv regime’s attempt to carry out a terror attack on targets in Russia with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, air-defense systems on duty eliminated and intercepted 144 Ukrainian fixed-wing UAVs,” Russia’s defense ministry said in a statement carried by the state-run TASS news agency.
