At least three people were killed in Ukrainian drone night attacks in the Tula and Nizhny Novgorod regions, which also targeted Moscow, Russian regional officials and the Ministry of Defense said on Monday (11).
Two other people died and two were hospitalized after an attack before Sunday midnight in the Tula region, which borders the Moscow region to the north, Tula governor Dmitry Milyaev told the Telegram messaging app.
One person died and two others were hospitalized after an Ukrainian attack against an industrial zone in the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia, according to Gleb Nikitin, governor of the region, in Telegram.
Russian air defense units destroyed a total of 59 Ukrainian drones at night, including 12 over the Tula region and two over the Moscow region.
The ministry only informs how many drones its units slaughtered, not how many were launched by Ukraine.
There were no immediate comments from Ukraine.
Both sides deny the target of civilians in their attacks on each other’s territory. But thousands died in the war that Russia began with a large -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Understand the war in Ukraine
Russia began the large -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and currently has about one fifth from the territory of the neighboring country.
Still in 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin decreed the annexation of four Ukrainian regions: Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizehzia.
The Russians slowly advance through the east and Moscow gives no signs of abandoning their main war goals.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump, president of the United States, pressures for a peace agreement.
Ukraine has made increasingly bold attacks within Russia and says the operations aim to destroy essential infrastructure of the Russian army.
Putin’s government, in turn, intensified air attacks, including drones offensive.
Both sides deny target civilians, but thousands died in the conflict, the vast majority of them Ukrainians.
Thousands of soldiers are also believed to have died on the front line, but neither side releases numbers of military lows.
The United States claim that 1.2 million people were injured or killed in the war.
