At least four have been killed in a drone attack in Ukraine by Russia | News of the Russia-Ukraine war

Russian officials say three people were killed in the Moscow region and one in Belgorod as a result of the Ukrainian attacks.

At least four people have been killed after Ukraine launched a series of drone attacks in several parts of Russia, including Moscow, in what officials described as the worst such attack in more than a year.

Russian authorities said on Sunday three people were killed in the Moscow region and another person died in Belgorod, near the border with Ukraine.

The governor of the Moscow region, Andrei Vorobyov, said a woman was killed when the plane crashed into a house in Khimki, north of Moscow. Rescue workers were looking for another person who could have been killed. Two other men were killed in the village of Pogorelki in Mytishchi district, he said.

Vorobyov added that residential buildings and workplaces were damaged in the attack.

The Russian news agency TASS, citing Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, said that air defense systems shot down 81 drones targeting the capital overnight.

He said 12 people were injured, most of them near the gas station in Moscow, adding that they continued to work without interruption, while three buildings were destroyed.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said it intercepted 556 drones across the country overnight and early Sunday morning.

Sheremetyevo Airport, Moscow’s largest, said drone debris had fallen on its premises but was undamaged.

This came after US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, said the war was almost over. Trump said last week he believed Moscow and Kyiv would “find an agreement very soon” to stop fighting.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials say Russian attacks are continuing in parts of Ukraine. In the Kharkiv region, the authorities said that the Russian army attacked 15 villages in the last 24 hours, injuring seven people.

In southern Kherson, officials said a 36-year-old man was killed after a Russian warplane dropped bombs on the village of Inhulets in Kherson on Saturday morning.
