Ukraine launched a massive overnight drone assault on Russia on September 12, striking multiple regions including Moscow, Smolensk, and Leningrad. Russian officials admitted that 221 drones were intercepted, but many bypassed defenses, setting fires at facilities such as a Lukoil site in Smolensk and a vessel at Primorsk Port near St. Petersburg. Pulkovo Airport, Russia’s second busiest, was forced to shut down, disrupting an estimated 50 flights. Local residents reported explosions across
Moscow &
St. Petersburg, marking one of the largest drone attacks inside Russia since the invasion began. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed more than 400 drones were shot down nationwide, yet evidence shows widespread damage. The strikes highlight Ukraine’s strategy of targeting key infrastructure and exposing gaps in Russia’s air defense systems.
