Russia revealed yesterday that Ukraine had fired a missile towards Moscow and attacked Crimea with 42 drones, marking one of the biggest Ukrainian air attacks on Russia-held territory ever known.

The Russian defence ministry said a modified ‘S-200 missile’ had been shot down over the Kaluga region, which margins the Moscow region. The city of Kaluga is about 200 km (124 miles) away from Moscow.
The defence ministry said, “The missile was detected and destroyed by air defences over the territory of the Kaluga region,”
There were no casualties, said Kaluga governor Vladislav Shapsha.

Ukraine did not immediately comment on the reports and did not claim responsibility for attacks inside Russia or on Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine.
The Russian defence ministry also said Crimea, which Russia seized and annexed in 2014, was attacked. Nine drones were destroyed by air defence forces while 33 were suppressed by electronic warfare and crashed over Crimea without reaching their targets.
Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Moscow-installed governor of the port city of Sevastopol in Crimea, said on the Telegram messaging app that several drones had been destroyed on Sevastopol’s outskirts.
There were no instant reports of casualties or damage from the attacks.
