A fourth person was killed in the Belgorod region, on the border with northeastern Ukraine, local authorities said
May 17 (Reuters) – At least four people were killed, including three in the Moscow region, after Ukraine launched its biggest overnight drone attack on the Russian capital in more than a year, local authorities said on Sunday.
A fourth person was killed in the Belgorod region, bordering northeastern Ukraine, local authorities said, while Russia’s Defense Ministry said more than 1,000 Ukrainian drones had been shot down over the country in the past 24 hours.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky promised retaliation on Friday following Russia’s largest drone and missile attack against Kiev in a two-day period since the start of the war.
Confirming the attack, Zelensky posted a video on X of a drone in flight, columns of black smoke and teams of firefighters trying to put out the flames.
“Our responses to Russia’s prolongation of the war and its attacks on our cities and communities are entirely justified,” Zelensky said.
