Summary At least 91 drones downed around Moscow, 337 overall in Russia Two killed by debris at meat warehouse, 18 others injured Flights briefly suspended at Moscow's four airports Largest Ukrainian drone attack on Russian capital

Ukraine on Tuesday launched its biggest ever drone attack on Moscow, killing at least two workers at a meat warehouse, injuring 18 others and causing a short shutdown at the Russian capital's four airports, Russian officials said.

A total of 337 drones were downed over Russia, including 91 over Moscow region and 126 over Kursk region where Ukrainian forces have been pulling back, the defence ministry said.

The dawn attack unfurled as U.S. officials were to meet a Ukrainian delegation in Saudi Arabia to seek an end of the three-year-war and as Russian forces try to encircle thousands of Ukrainian soldiers in the western Russian region of Kursk.

Kyiv has suffered repeated mass strikes from Russia throughout the war and said it was targeted by a ballistic missile and 126 drones on Tuesday. It has tried to hit back against its vastly bigger neighbour with repeated drone raids on oil refineries, airfields and even early-warning radar stations.

The drone attack could be an attempt to sabotage the peace talks before they even get started.

Darksheare here is that story you mentioned


Matthew 24:6-8
New American Standard Bible

6 And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8 But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pains.

Am I reading the numbers right, 428 Uke drones shot down? Yea, something sounds off. Isn’t Uke border to Moscow like 800 miles? Funny no mention how many were initially sent. Either my bad math or bad reporting.

That sure is an interesting website. How much of what they publish is factual?

I ask that in all sincerity as I’ve never heard about several of their stories, and I consider myself a news junkie.

Russians always shoot them all down, with the damage caused by falling debris and no casualties to follow.😎

Not so fast there. That was a strategic meat warehouse. Vital military target.

Well, we bombed a Serbian shoe factory three times in 1999. The second time, we bombed its ruins and the third time we turned rubble into gravel. Go figure.

At the time, I asked one of our military intelligence officers why we did that. Answer: it might produce boots for soldiers.

Maybe the Ukrainians were worried the meat factory might produce eats for Russian soldiers? (eye roll)

The shoe factory was a case of wasting American bombs on a stupid target and was intentional. The meat warehouse was a waste of Ukrainian drones on a stupid target and may or may not have been intentional (could have been debris from a shoot down?).

AP and BBC reporting three dead, 18 injured (including three children).

Most of the drones were reportedly shot down. What was hit included residential apartment buildings, a car park, you know, important military targets.

BBC:

For the hard-hearted among you who don’t mind the civilian casualties, how do you feel about Ukraine wasting weapons sorely needed on the battlefield and paid for with our tax dollars on such stupid targets?
