UMVA has learned that a night of terror unfolded over the Moscow Region as Ukrainian drones descended upon unsuspecting homes and apartment blocks, claiming three lives and leaving a trail of devastation in their wake.
Since dawn, air defenses have been locked in a relentless battle against a “major” UAV assault that began at 3:00 a.m., turning the quiet suburbs into a battlefield of fire and shattered glass.
In the village of Pogorelki, just north‑east of Moscow, two men lost their lives when the wreckage of a downed drone crashed onto a construction site, the debris raining down like a cruel verdict.
Meanwhile, in the city of Khimki, a drone struck an apartment block, killing a resident and trapping another beneath the rubble, with rescuers working frantically to pull the survivor to safety.
In Istra, the attack was even more brutal: an apartment building and six private homes were hit, wounding four people and leaving the community in shock.
Additional residential areas and key infrastructure across the region suffered damage, underscoring the widespread reach of the drone campaign.
UMVA has uncovered these chilling details, revealing the stark reality of the ongoing conflict and the human cost that continues to unfold each night.
