Ukraine launched more than 600 drones toward Moscow overnight in one of its largest long-range attacks on the Russian capital, according to Russian officials.

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said at least 637 drones were launched toward the capital, with 197 reportedly intercepted over the Moscow region.

At least three people, including a 10-year-old girl, were injured in the attacks. Residential properties and other buildings were also damaged, while a warehouse belonging to Wildberries caught fire.

Temporary flight restrictions were imposed at all four Moscow airports.

Drone attacks were also reported in the Ryazan and Bryansk regions, where several people were injured.

Ukraine has intensified long-range strikes against targets inside Russia in recent months, while Russia has continued launching attacks against Ukrainian cities.

Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched 147 drones overnight, with 111 reportedly shot down or suppressed. Ukrainian officials said Russian strikes killed and injured civilians in several regions, including Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Donetsk and Sumy.
