Drone Defenses: Moscow Under Siege Again

Russian air defenses successfully intercepted five drones on Sunday as they approached Moscow, according to the city's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin. The news was shared via his social media platforms, adding to the narrative of a city under frequent drone attack.

Moscow has increasingly become a target following Russia's military escalation in Ukraine in 2022, which saw tens of thousands of troops moving into Ukrainian territory. This latest incident underscores the persistent threat posed by Ukrainian drones.

The resumption of attacks on energy infrastructure marks an escalation in tensions, particularly following the lapse of a U.S.-brokered pause in such hostilities. This development reflects the fragile state of peace and stability in the region.
