Russia reports large-scale drone attack – likely conducted by Ukraine’s military intel:

Four waves of drone attacks were reported in Russia from the early hours of Nov. 26, with the Russian Ministry of Defense claiming to have “downed” 24 drones across five regions, as well destroying two missiles over the Sea of Azov.

Russia accused the “Kyiv regime” of being behind all of the attacks. The Ukrainian authorities have not officially commented on the night’s events in Russia, but a number of Ukrainian media outlets, including public broadcaster Suspilne, cite sources in the Defense Intelligence or HUR as saying that Ukrainian intel was behind the attacks.

NV has collected everything known about the large-scale drone attack on Russia.

At around 3.30 a.m., Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that a “Ukrainian attempt at a massive drone attack” on the city had been stopped. He said UAVs flying toward the Russian capital were intercepted in Moscow Oblast.

Because of the attack, Moscow’s Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports were temporarily closed.

Air defense destroyed several drones in Bryansk, Tula, and Kaluga oblasts, according to Sobyanin. The Russian Defense Ministry soon claimed to have shot down 11 “Ukrainian drones.”

The second drone attack was reported in Russia at around 5 a.m. Local governors also claimed to have “shot down” drones in Moscow, Tula, Kaluga, and Bryansk oblasts. Then the Russian Ministry of Defense reported nine more “intercepted” UAVs.

In Moscow Oblast, there was no damage, but the governor of Tula Oblast reported that one of the drones shot down by Russian air defense “lost control and crashed into an apartment building in Tula.”

There was supposedly no serious damage. Local social media groups shared photos and videos from Tula showing traces of fire in an apartment on one of the floors. One man was lightly injured. —>READ MORE HERE

Ukraine targets Russia’s military facilities with 35 UAVs in response to earlier Shahed attack on Kyiv:

The overnight drone attack on Russia on Nov. 26 was a response by Ukrainian military intelligence to the massive attack by the Shahed drones on Kyiv the day before, NV’s sister publication Ukrainska Pravda has reported, citing an intelligence source.

The attack began at 3.30 a.m. and ended at 9.20 a.m. About 35 drones were fired at facilities in Moscow and the region, as well as in the cities of Tula and Smolensk. The UP source stressed that all the targets were military or related to military production.

“The actions are purely symmetrical and a sign that Russia should think about the consequences,” it said.

“The war should be fought with the military in the combat areas. Strikes on civilians outside the combat zone will not go unanswered.”

Since the early hours of Nov. 26, four waves of drone attacks were reported on Russia. The Russian Defense Ministry alleged 24 “downed” UAVs in five regions, as well as the destruction of two missiles over the Sea of Azov.

The Ukrainian government did not officially comment on the night’s events in Russia, but a number of Ukrainian media outlets, including public broadcaster Suspilne, cited sources in Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence as saying that Ukrainian intel was behind the attacks. —>READ MORE HERE
