On the night of March 14, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched another attack on Russian territory, again using unmanned aerial vehicles "Lyutyi." These drones, developed by the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, have become a key tool in the strategy of striking strategic targets in the rear, demonstrating Kyiv's ability to conduct operations at a significant distance from the front line.
According to Russian authorities, the attack affected several regions, including Moscow and the Moscow region, where air defense forces actively countered the threat. Despite the interception of most of the drones, debris from the downed devices caused damage to civilian infrastructure. In particular, in the Rosinter-2 cottage village in the Leninsky District of the Moscow Region, debris from one of the drones fell on a private house, damaging it, as well as three cars and a motorcycle located in the adjacent territory. In the west of the capital, in the area of Rezervny Proezd, drone debris caused damage to the Avangard residential complex, damaging the roof cornice and the canopy of the entrance. In the Danilovsky District of Moscow, fragments of the drone fell on an occupied building on Lesteva Street, and in the Yuzhnaya Bitsa microdistrict in the Moscow Region, a multi-story building under construction was damaged, which was not yet inhabited at the time of the attack.
Emergency services quickly arrived at the sites of the debris fall, began to eliminate the consequences and assess the damage. According to preliminary data, no casualties or injured persons were recorded as a result of the incidents, which was made possible by the timely operation of the air defense and the absence of people in the affected area at the time of the debris fall.
The attack by Ukraine's Lyuty drones was part of a broader campaign aimed at striking targets in Russia. The drones, developed by the state-owned Ukroboronprom concern, were first unveiled in October 2022 as a response to the Ukrainian army's need for long-range strike systems.
