Ukrainian drone attack triggers massive explosions in Russia's Tver region

Russia's air defense units destroyed 54 drones that Ukraine fired at five western Russian regions overnight, Russian state news agencies cited a Russian Defense Ministry report as saying.

The regional governors reported that no damage was caused by the attacks.

However, the Defense Ministry's report did not mention the Tver region, which borders the Moscow region to the southeast.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.

Kiev had previously stated that its attacks on Russia targeted military, energy and transport infrastructure crucial to Moscow's war effort.

Russian officials rarely disclose the full extent of the damage caused by the Ukrainian attacks.

As Ukraine has ramped up its domestic drone production over the past two years, there have also been increased attacks on Russian territory.

In September, Ukraine's largest drone attack occurred in the Russian capital. At least one person was killed, houses were destroyed and air traffic at Moscow's airports was disrupted.
