The Ukrainian military reported on Telegram that "monitoring results indicate the presence of at least two points of fire on the military unit premises and signs of secondary detonation. At 2:00 AM ET, a large fire was still burning at the facility."

Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that at least 70 Ukrainian drones were shot down over Russian territory. The drones entered the following regions: Moscow, Tula, Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol, and Kaluga. As many as 32 appeared near Moscow, leading to restrictions on traffic at the main airports in the capital and surrounding areas.

According to the Russian BBC service, the Ukrainian attack caused fires on several private properties, and one person was injured.

This was the largest Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's capital since the beginning of the war.
