Moscow comes under 'massive' drone attack leaving civilians killed and three injured

www.dailymail.co.uk Civilian killed and three injured as Kyiv launches drone attack

The attack came as a Ukrainian delegation was set to meet with America's top diplomat in Saudi Arabia about ending the three-year war with Russia.

Russia has been bombarded in the biggest Ukrainian drone attack of the war, Moscow officials have said, on the same day as crunch talks are set to be held between Kyiv and the United States.

The Russian Defence Ministry said air defences shot down 337 Ukrainian drones over 10 Russian regions overnight, a record high, as Ukraine hit back at a series of brutal recent attacks launched by Moscow.

At least one Russian civilian has been killed and several injured, with dramatic footage showing fires raging from the exploding drones including in high rise residential buildings near Moscow.

It's sad but you can't expect attacked countries to not fight back.

Ok one civilian killed, how many tactical targets did they hit? 337 shot down, how many drones did hit their target? sounds like this post shares only the absolute worst side of the story.
"The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have shot down at least 91 drones in the region around Moscow and more than 240 drones directed at other targets across the country."
"The Ukrainian military said it had targeted Moscow’s oil refinery, which provides more than a third of the fuel consumed in the capital region, along with an oil production station in the Orel region. Neither claim could be independently verified."

"Ukraine's armed forces "struck a number of strategic objects of the Russian Federation involved in ensuring armed aggression against Ukraine," they said in a statement Tuesday.
The Russian military said it shot down 337 Ukrainian drones over 10 Russian regions. Three people were killed and 18 injured, and several residential buildings damaged, according to Russian officials."
- NYT does not say whether a civilian was killed or soldier. They all leave that out. Like almost all Western newspapers. Which is why you got Daily Mail.
  
  Indeed I have seen stories about 1,2 or 3 deaths without mentioning it

When was it? I'm looking at Russian news and not seeing anything, they're usually pretty eager to talk about drone attacks. I read about one on Nizhny Novgorod, IIRC it was early morning 11.03

If Ukraine actually did this, it's a beautiful find out stage after Russia has been fucking around for far too long. But the skeptic in me says this is actually a false flag staged to manufacture reasons to deny peace talks and continue to escalate.
- Ukraine attacking civilians is old news. They love crashing their drones into whatever house is nearby when they fail to find a military target.

At least use an archive link if you're going to share the Daily Mail

Wow. I’m kinda shocked by this news. Ukraine on the offensive? Why?
- They need to have some success to put onto the table and show USA and EU they still can win. Regardless of this "win" being basically terror attack, USA and EU loves them anyway.
- Negotiations in Saudi right now. Ukraine probably wants to show they are willing to bomb cities just like Russia if they do not get a good deal.
  
  How come when Russia drops bombs it's a military target (or something meters away from one) but when Ukraine drops bombs it's always schools, apartments, and shopping malls?

- guess you didn't have that tune on 9/11
  
  If you had that tune then surely you're in favour of this?
- This is a stupid escalation. If Russia so wished, they could level Kyiv overnight, they have more than enough weapons to do it.
  Now, that would be the kind of shit liberals pretend Russia is already doing, just carpet bombing the entire area willy nilly (because they think what the fascist US does is what everyone does), but it's not been the strategy, given that Russia doesn't want to make a lifelong enemy of the Ukrainian people and it would make the peace talks that Russia hasn't taken off the table from day one all but impossible.
  The only reason this is happening is because Zelensky knows what awaits him specifically as soon as the war is done, he'll get hung out to dry for all the war crimes the US commissioned in the first place.
  
  If Russia so wished, they could level Kyiv overnight, they have more than enough weapons to do it.
  i don't think you realize how big cities are. that's a lot of bombs.
  and why would they destroy the thing that they are trying to win? how would that make sense
  
  how boring of a shill do you have to be to want to try and cast Russia as a hero at any point in the past 100 years, let alone in the past 11?
  what a disgusting asshole writing complete fiction.
  
  Winnie the Pooh loves honey too!
  
  America nuked Japan twice and they ended up pretty good friends. If Russia could, they would. They don't want to get pants'ed on the world stage.
  You want to make a lifelong enemy? Renege on 20 peace deals since 2014.
