A major oil depot in the Moscow Region was hit by drones overnight. A fire broke out at the Volodarskaya Linear Production Dispatch Station (LPDS) in Konstantinovo. It is a branch of Transneft Verkhnyaya Volga JSC, which is directly connected to the largest airports of the Moscow Aviation Hub.

All Moscow airports suspended operations.

A total of 650 drones flew toward the Moscow Region and Moscow overnight. The figures were provided by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. According to him, most of the UAVs were destroyed at a distance, but 105 of them nevertheless reached Moscow.
