Ukrainian Drone Attacks in Moscow Region Wound At Least 10 People

July 20, 2026 Smoke billows after Ukrainian drone attacks in Podolsk, Moscow Region. REUTERS / Stringer Ukraine targeted Moscow and the surrounding region with hundreds of drones overnight, wounding at least 10 people and sparking multiple fires, Russian officials said on Monday. Moscow region Governor Andrei Vorobyov said several homes and civilian infrastructure sites in the Podolsk, Domodedovo and Odintsovo districts were set ablaze and damaged. He did not reveal the nature of the damage or the locations. At least 10 people across the Moscow region were wounded during the attack, Vorobyov added, including a child. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, meanwhile, said more than 400 "enemy drones" were launched at the Moscow region between Sunday night and Monday morning. He said "most" of the drones were intercepted. Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, said Monday that its logistics center in the Podolsk district had been evacuated as a precaution but later resumed normal operations. On Saturday, a Ukrainian drone barrage in the Moscow and Tambov regions killed seven Wildberries warehouse workers and wounded dozens more. Russia's Defense Ministry said it intercepted 381 Ukrainian drones across Russia and annexed Crimea between Sunday night and Monday morning. Reuters contributed reporting.
