Ukraine launches massive 400-drone attack on Moscow as Zelenskyy faces domestic crisis
Ukraine launched over 400 drones toward Moscow in a major overnight attack from July 19-20, 2026, according to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. Most drones were downed, but 85 were intercepted near Moscow, causing fires at an industrial park and an oil depot, wounding 10 people. The attack came as Russia bombarded Kyiv with ballistic missiles, killing at least six. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy faces domestic protests after replacing 35-year-old Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov with Soviet-trained General Oleksandr Syrskyi, sparking street demonstrations. Zelenskyy also claimed Ukrainian forces struck two Russian shadow fleet vessels and four dry cargo ships in the Black Sea. The tit-for-tat strikes underscore the prolonged conflict's intensity, with Ukraine's evolving drone technology challenging Russian defenses.
