Drone attacks are on the rise

Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian territory have increased in recent weeks, often targeting Moscow and the annexed Crimean peninsula. On July 30, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Moscow, saying: “Gradually, war is returning to Russian territory, to its symbolic centers and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural and absolutely fair process. »

Last week, Russia claimed the destruction of seven drones in the Kaluga region, south of Moscow. Authorities said Moscow was hit by several drone attacks in the past week, including one that damaged an office building in its main business district, Moscow City, which came under attack twice within days.
