WatchMayor Sergei Sobyanin called it the largest attack on Moscow of the war and said air defenses downed more than 1,600 drones since Saturday, 450 of them headed for the capital.

Speaking at his golf course in Ireland, the president said Ukraine can hit other targets but not refineries because the strikes are 'hurting the world.' U.S. diesel topped $6 a gallon on Friday.
WatchThe two American envoys called Sunday's talks substantive and said they were encouraged. Moscow and Kyiv agreed to stop firing at each other's capitals for the length of the visit, and nothing more.
At least 37 people were killed and about 50 apartment buildings damaged after the strike set off secondary explosions. Ukraine's president says ammunition was being stored where the law forbids it.
Nizhnekamsk, in Tatarstan, was hit Monday morning in what regional authorities called a massive attack on industrial and civilian sites.

Moscow says its forces have taken one of the last Ukrainian bastions guarding the road to Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. Kyiv rejects the claim, and independent verification of the front line is not possible.
Moscow fired 73 missiles and 656 drones at Kyiv, Dnipro and Kharkiv overnight, collapsing an apartment block and knocking out power for 140,000 people as Ukraine's depleted air defenses struggled to keep up.
WatchThe assault — among the largest of the war — battered Kyiv, Dnipro and five other regions with hypersonic missiles, collapsing a nine-story apartment block and trapping residents beneath the rubble.
The Russian leader's Victory Day overture is his most explicit yet, but Moscow still demands Ukrainian forces leave four annexed oblasts while Kyiv insists on a front-line freeze — and Washington's focus has pivoted to the Iran war.
The Russian leader's most explicit signal yet that Moscow may seek a settlement followed a Trump-brokered three-day ceasefire and a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange, though Ukrainian drone strikes pounded Moscow over the weekend.
Drones flew more than 500 km to hit the capital's oil refinery, with wreckage falling at Sheremetyevo airport and in the residential suburbs of Khimki and Mytishchi.

Ukraine deployed 228 counter-drone specialists across five Gulf countries and signed 10-year contracts worth billions — part of a bid to exchange its battle-tested anti-drone experience for the Patriot interceptors that have become the scarcest weapons in the Iran war.
