Russia's Air Defenses Score Major Win: 158 Ukrainian Drones Shot Down in Attack on Moscow
In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing conflict, Ukraine launched an overnight drone attack targeting Moscow and several other Russian regions.
Despite the high-profile nature of the attack, officials reported no injuries or significant damage.
Moscowâs Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed the destruction of a drone near the capital, while the Bryansk and Kursk regions also reported downed unmanned vehicles.
This provocative move signals a new phase in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
Watch for detailed coverage and analysis of this significant development.
During the live coverage of the historic TrumpâPutin meeting in Alaska, a heated debate broke out between Burzine Waghmar SOAS, University of London, and journalist Nagen Singh of OneIndia News. Waghmar argued that Russiaâs economy is overheated and claimed Putin cannot sustain the Ukraine war beyond a year. He also questioned Indiaâs obsession with Moscow and the romanticization of Indo-Russian ties. Countering him, Singh accused the West of hypocrisy and blamed the UK and U.S. for Indiaâs deep-rooted closeness with Russia.

As Donald Trump prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday, Americans remain deeply divided over the high-stakes summit. Critics are denouncing the meeting as a âtravestyâ and a potential act of betrayal, warning it could undermine U.S. interests and embolden Moscow. Supporters, however, see the gathering as a historic opportunity for Trump to broker a path toward âworld peace,â arguing that direct dialogue could end dangerous escalations.
The Alaska meeting, set against the backdrop of the Ukraine war and tense U.S.-Russia relations, is drawing intense media coverage and heated public debate. While some fear Trump will concede too much to Putin, others believe he is uniquely capable of negotiating a breakthrough. With speculation running high, all eyes now turn to Anchorage, where the outcome could redefine Americaâs role on the global stage.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has begun a high-stakes three-day visit to North Korea, underscoring deepening military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang amid the Ukraine war. Lavrov praised the âinvincible brotherhoodâ between the nations during talks with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui in Wonsan. Notably, North Korea had deployed troops to aid Russian forces in repelling Ukraineâs invasion of the Kursk region in 2024.
Lavrov specifically commended the sacrifices of the Korean Peopleâs Army in retaking Sudzha and surrounding villages from what he called âUkrainian Nazis.â With Kyivâs offensive now crushed, North Korea is sending more troops for reconstruction efforts in Kursk. Lavrovâs visit signals Russiaâs growing pivot towards pariah states as it faces Western isolation. Shoigu confirmed 6,000 North Korean troops would aid with demining and engineering.

Former Russian Transport Minister Roman Starovoit was found dead in Moscow just hours after being sacked by President Vladimir Putin. Authorities say the 51-year-old died of a gunshot wound in his car, with suicide suspected. Starovoitâs abrupt dismissal follows mounting pressure over corruption probes and border failures in Kursk during his earlier governorship. Kremlin critics question whether political purging played a role. His death adds to the growing list of mysterious ends among Putinâs inner circle.

In one of the largest overnight drone barrages, Russia claims its air defense forces intercepted 99 drones targeting key cities and infrastructure across western Russia. Airports in St. Petersburg, Kaluga, and Volgograd were paralyzed, with 70+ flights delayed. Train services in Volgograd faced hours-long halts after drone debris damaged railway power lines. Debris fell in residential and industrial areas, reportedly injuring at least one person in Leningrad Oblast.
The Russian Defense Ministry accused Ukraine of orchestrating the strikes, with Kyiv yet to issue a statement. Targeted regions included Bryansk, Smolensk, Kaluga, Volgograd, Rostov, and even occupied Crimea and Moscow. While Russia continues its aggressive strikes on Ukraine, this retaliation suggests an expanding and unpredictable aerial conflict zone. The Kyiv Independent couldnât verify the claims independently. This is a rapidly developing story.
