Summary

Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack on Moscow and surrounding regions overnight on October 28-29, 2026. Russian authorities reported 613 drones directed at the Moscow region, with air defense systems destroying 231 as they approached the capital and intercepting the majority of others further away. Russia's Defense Ministry claimed a record 1,214 drones were intercepted across the country during the overnight barrage. The attack caused minor damage to an industrial facility in Sterlitamak, where smoke was seen rising above the area. Residents of Naro-Fominsk reported hearing at least three explosions overnight. The incident resulted in 1 death and 7 injured in the Belgorod region. Three Moscow airports—Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky—temporarily restricted flight operations, with two aircraft from Turkey forced to divert. Ukraine has not confirmed launching the attack. Separately, Russian strikes in the Rivne region killed one person according to Ukrainian officials.
