An Indian worker was killed, and three others were injured after Ukrainian drones hit Russia?s Moscow region on Sunday, the Embassy of India in Russia said. The embassy said its officials visited the site of the attack and met the injured workers at a hospital.

"The Embassy condoles the loss of life and is working with the company management and local authorities to provide necessary assistance to the workers," the embassy said in a statement posted on X.

Ukraine launched one of its biggest drone attacks



on Moscow in recent months overnight Sunday, triggering air raid sirens, explosions and falling debris across parts of the Russian capital and nearby regions.

Russia?s defence ministry claimed that more than 1,000 Ukrainian drones were intercepted across the country within 24 hours. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said air defence systems shot down at least 81 drones headed toward the capital overnight. The strikes caused damage to residential buildings and infrastructure in several areas. Authorities said at least four people were killed in the attack, including three in the Moscow region. Another death was reported in Russia?s Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine.
