Ukraine launched a massive overnight drone attack targeting Moscow and surrounding areas, with hundreds of drones reported. An apartment building in Chekhov, near Moscow, was damaged, according to the regional governor. The strikes also hit a Moscow Oblast plant and caused a blackout in Crimea. The attacks targeted Russian logistics, including warehouses of the e-commerce giant Wildberries, bringing the war closer to ordinary Russians. A prominent Wildberries seller with 1.3 million Instagram followers publicly appealed to Russian authorities for help. The offensive comes as a meeting between Ukrainian President Zelensky and former US President Trump looms, adding a geopolitical dimension to the escalation.
