🇺🇦 UKRAINE STRIKES BACK! MOSCOW UNDER MASSIVE DRONE ATTACK, EXPLOSIONS REPORTED ACROSS RUSSIA! Following Russia’s devastating strikes on Kyiv, Ukraine has reportedly launched a large-scale wave of drones and missiles against targets deep inside Russian territory. Moscow is facing hours of aerial alerts, explosions, and unprecedented security measures. According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, at least 17 drones were intercepted while approaching the Russian capital. All four major Moscow airports — Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky — reportedly suspended flights. Russian media reported 117 delayed flights, while passengers at Sheremetyevo were directed to safer areas. Videos circulating online show additional security measures near the Kremlin, including mobile air-defense teams and Pantsir systems positioned around sensitive locations. Russian reports also describe unusual aerial objects approaching Moscow, including balloons allegedly carrying explosive devices or smaller drones. These claims remain unverified. Meanwhile, employees were reportedly evacuated from the IQ Quarter tower in Moscow City, which houses several Russian government agencies. But Moscow is not the only target. In Oryol, Ukrainian forces reportedly struck the Proton electronics plant, a facility involved in manufacturing components used in Russian military equipment. Its products reportedly support systems associated with Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Pantsir-S1 air-defense systems, and other Russian weapons. Local reports described multiple explosions followed by a fire. The extent of the damage remains unclear. Another reported target was Russia’s 75th Main Missile and Artillery Directorate arsenal near Serpukhov in the Moscow region. The facility is associated with the storage and maintenance of Russian air-defense equipment, including Buk and S-300 systems. Several explosions were reported, with preliminary claims suggesting damage to a workshop inside the military complex. There were also reports of a strike on a Federal Tax Service data center in Gorodets, Nizhny Novgorod region, although the extent of any damage has not been independently established. Russia's war is increasingly reaching locations far from the Ukrainian battlefield. For years, Moscow has launched missiles and drones against Ukrainian cities, homes, energy infrastructure, and civilian facilities. Now Russian authorities are confronting the security and economic consequences of attacks deep inside their own territory. Airport shutdowns, emergency deployments, evacuations, and threats to military-industrial infrastructure demonstrate how long-range warfare can disrupt even heavily defended regions. Ukraine's ability to challenge Russian military infrastructure far from the front line has become an important dimension of the war. However, reports of destroyed air-defense bases, major strategic damage, and panic inside the Kremlin still require independent confirmation. One thing is clear: the war Russia brought to Ukraine continues to reshape the security situation inside Russia itself. And the full consequences of these reported strikes are still emerging.
