About 20 explosive FP-1 drones were launched from southern Ukraine hours after a strike set a Wildberries logistics center roughly 45 km south of Moscow ablaze.
The 413th "Raid" Unmanned Systems Regiment says the long-range attacks are meant to hit Russian logistical and industrial targets, raise economic costs and push the Kremlin toward peace talks.
Commander Yevhen Karas said his unit joined one of Ukraine's largest attacks on Russia to date, part of a campaign that has repeatedly struck warehouses, energy sites and military manufacturers.
Those deeper strikes have forced Russia to spread air defenses more widely and have already contributed to airport delays, fuel shortages and pressure on public morale nearly 4 1/2 years into the war.
