Story summary
On October 6, Ukraine launched a major drone attack involving around 650 drones against the Moscow region, marking one of the largest such attacks in recent years. Russian authorities reported that air defenses intercepted many of these drones before they reached the city; Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that 105 drones were downed near the capital. The attack resulted in two fatalities and nine injuries, including a 20-year-old man killed in a village on the outskirts of Moscow, as well as damage to several homes and a warehouse operated by Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries. This incident is part of an escalating series of long-range strikes between both sides targeting energy and industrial infrastructure aimed at undermining each other's war efforts.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
