On August 11, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukraine had launched a large-scale unmanned aerial attack (UAV) targeting a series of Russian territories, including the capital Moscow.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the country's air defense units destroyed 27 Ukrainian UAVs within 3 hours on the night of August 10 (local time). Of these, 11 are in the Tula region, one is in Moscow and the rest are in four other regions in southern and western Russia.
Most areas have not recorded any damage or casualties, with 3 people killed and 2 others injured.
Governor Tula, Dmitry Milyaev, said the injured were taken to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately after the attack and were all in the area bordering northern Moscow.
Also on August 10, a Russian airstrike targeted the Zaporizhzhia region injured at least 12 Ukrainians.
According to official information from the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry posted on X, Russia attacked Zaporizhzhia with guided bombs, targeting residential areas, 1 bus station and 1 clinic.
"At least 12 people were injured, one of them was rescued by rescue workers from the rubble of destroyed structures," the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry wrote.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that logistics forces including medical staff, firefighters and local police were mobilized to the scene where the attack took place.
The Ukrainian leader later called on its allies to increase pressure on Russia with sanctions, while affirming that the strength of the US and Europe plays an important role in maintaining world peace.
The airstrikes between the two sides show that the conflict has not shown any signs of cooling down, while President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin are preparing to attend the Russia-US summit on August 15 in Alaska, focusing on resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Observers are concerned that with the current escalating war, the outcome of the meeting could be affected in a negative way.
