Moscow and the surrounding region have been increasingly targeted by long-range Ukrainian drones in recent weeks, with strikes aimed at energy facilities, transportation infrastructure, and civilian sites.
The strikes have been met with a strong response from Russia, which has described them as indiscriminate terrorist attacks intended to divert attention away from Ukraine's setbacks on the battlefield.
Russia has retaliated with a renewed campaign of long-range strikes targeting dual-use and military industrial sites, with the bulk of these strikes focused on the Ukrainian capital, Kiev.
Recent targets in Kiev have included military plants, drone assembly and storage facilities, and weaponry stockpiles, highlighting the escalating nature of the conflict.
