Deux morts dans le bombardement russe de Zaporizhzhya, les Ukrainiens ont envoyé plus de 400 drones sur Moscou.

At least two people were killed in a Russian missile strike on Zaporizhia, Ukraine’s southeastern city, according to Ukrainian emergency services late Sunday. The attack targeted residential buildings, with at least 42 injured, including eight children, as reported by emergency services via Telegram. Ukrainian media cited reports that Russia used guided bombs to strike the city, damaging two five-story buildings, though the extent of destruction was not fully detailed. Zaporizhia, the main city of the eponymous region, lies approximately 20 kilometers from the front lines. In response to the attack, Ukraine launched more than 400 drones toward Moscow’s region during the night, according to the mayor of the Russian capital. The mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, stated on Telegram that “between 20 and 5 in the morning, over 400 enemy drones approached the Moscow region.” He added that most of them were destroyed before reaching the city, with 85 drones neutralized while still far from Moscow. Emergency services in Domodedovo, a southern suburb of Moscow, reported six individuals injured by explosions, ranging from minor to severe injuries, and transported to a hospital there. The hospital did not specify whether these injuries were linked directly to the drone attacks. Domodedovo is one of Moscow’s international airports. Regional governor Andrey Vorobyev confirmed damage to infrastructure in Domodedovo, Podolsk, and Odintsovo, noting private homes and civilian facilities affected by the drone strikes. He mentioned that one person was injured in Domodedovo due to a fire in a private house, and another was hurt near the M-4 motorway, where a drone crashed close to a vehicle. However, he did not clarify whether these casualties were among the six already reported. In recent months, Ukraine has intensified its attacks on Russian territory, targeting oil and gas infrastructure in an effort to undermine Moscow’s ability to fund its military operations. This escalation reflects a broader shift in the war’s dynamics, with both sides increasingly employing long-range weapons and unmanned systems to strike strategic objectives beyond traditional battlefields. The situation underscores the growing complexity of modern warfare, where urban centers and critical infrastructure become potential targets. As both nations continue their respective campaigns, the humanitarian impact and geopolitical consequences will likely intensify. The immediate focus remains on assessing the damage and ensuring the safety of civilians caught in the crossfire.
