(MENAFN) A 75-year-old woman was hospitalized after being injured by debris from a downed drone during a Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow Region, Governor Andrey Vorobyov reported. The incident occurred in the Ramensky Urban District’s summer cottage area. Vorobyov confirmed the woman is receiving necessary medical treatment.

Russian air defenses intercepted ten drones across multiple districts in the region. The most notable damage happened in Istra, where debris struck the facade and windows of a residential building. No other civilian injuries or damage to critical infrastructure were reported.

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin also confirmed frequent drone incursions early Sunday. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that 61 Ukrainian drones were shot down overnight across various regions, including Bryansk, Belgorod, Kaluga, Tula, Oryol, Kursk, and Crimea.

Since mid-May, following the first Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul, Ukraine has significantly escalated drone attacks targeting civilian infrastructure in Moscow and surrounding areas. The raids peaked in late May, with Russian forces downing 2,300 UAVs, according to the Defense Ministry.
