MOSCOW – The skies above the Russian capital were choked with thick columns of black smoke following an unprecedented, mass-scale aerial assault. In what has been definitively confirmed as the largest and most sophisticated Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow since the outbreak of the full-scale invasion over four years ago, Kyiv brought the physical and psychological weight of the war directly to the Kremlin’s doorstep.

Police are investigating a series of violent incidents in Ziko, Seke, after two people were found dead and several others injured during a night that has left the community shaken and demanding answers.
