A male Indian citizen was killed and three others injured, India's Moscow embassy said, but it was not clear whether these casualties were included in Vorobiev's tally. Another person died in Belgorod region bordering Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the strikes were an "entirely justified" response to deadly Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities.

Russian state news agency Tass described the strikes as the biggest attack on Moscow for more than a year.

Earlier this week, a massive Russian drone and missile attack killed 24 people in Kyiv.

In Ukraine, eight people were injured in overnight Russian drone attacks and shelling in the central Dnipropetrovsk region, officials said........................

Our responses to Russia’s prolongation of the war and its attacks on our cities and communities are entirely justified. This time, Ukrainian long-range sanctions reached the Moscow region, and we are clearly telling the Russians: their state must end its war. Ukrainian drone and

A road in Moscow subsided as a building materials warehouse burned beneath the highway supports. The fire is raging directly under the route’s pillars. #Russia

They should be thankful

12. That is not a cogent argument.

Russia has nukes.

Is Ukraine "thankfull" Russia is only using "lighter" weapons?

This war is decidedly one-sided in firepower, but to the ingenuity and resiliance of Ukraine it's a stalemate.

This is exactly why the West needs to provide overwhelming help to Ukraine in order to send Russia back to the middle ages where they belong. It's a sick, twisted society that has no place among civilized humanity.

It is now a war of attrition, which Russia is losing badly. We need to do everything possible to help Ukraine outlast the Russian tactic of "meat grinder" warfare.

Unfortunately, with a Russian asset currently illegally occupying the White House, prospects of the US helping look pretty dim right now.

Footage of a major fire following a drone attack in Zelenograd (Moscow Administrative District).

The "Elma" Technopark was likely the target of the attack. Companies that manufacture electronics are based there.

The war is finally coming to Russia.

10. The difference is, Russia is deliberately targeting Ukrainian civilians

Ukraine is targeting fuel and tech industries and some of their drones are being either shot down over populated areas or diverted into them by Russian anti-drone electronic warfare.
