Five killed in Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow region as Tekever addresses capture claims

Russian air defense forces intercepted 320 Ukrainian drones across 19 regions overnight, including near the capital, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. Despite the interceptions, Moscow Regional Governor Andrey Vorobyov reported five people were killed and six injured after a drone strike sparked fires in the Novoselki industrial zone.

The attack damaged a warehouse belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s largest e-commerce platform, marking a recurring target for long-range strikes.

Concurrently, Portuguese defense firm Tekever addressed Russian state media reports claiming Moscow captured one of its drone systems operated by Ukrainian forces. Tekever declined to confirm specific client operations, emphasizing that its technology undergoes continuous development to protect operational security and limit the impact of potential hardware loss.
