Moscow says it thwarted drone attack

Assault comes as Kyiv’s forces continue push into Russia’s Kursk region

- 

Soldiers of Ukraine’s 24th Mechanised Brigade fire a Soviet-era “Giatsint-S” 152 mm self-propelled howitzer toward Russian positions near Chasiv Yar town, in Donetsk region, Ukraine, on Tuesday.

Moscow came under one of the largest attacks by Ukrainian drones since the start of fighting in 2022, Russian authorities reported Wednesday, saying they destroyed all of those headed toward the country’s capital.

The attacks came as Ukrainian forces continue to push into Russia’s western Kursk region. Late Wednesday, the governor of Russia’s Bryansk, which borders both Kursk and Ukraine, said Russian forces turned back a Ukrainian attempt to enter that region.
