According to the latest update from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain on the situation in Ukraine - March 12, 2025:

On the night of March 10-11, Ukraine conducted the largest strikes with unmanned aerial systems (UAS) on Russia in the entire conflict. The strikes targeted several Russian regions, including Moscow and nearby settlements, with the Russian Ministry of Defense stating that "337 UAVs were intercepted and destroyed, including 91 over the Moscow region."

"Fires have been reported in Moscow, as well as the temporary suspension of all four Moscow airports and the suspension of rail services between Moscow and Domodedovo," the statement said.

Also, according to reports, the Ukrainian strikes are the latest in a series of increasing regularity of Ukrainian aviation strikes deep inside Russian territory, highlighting the challenge facing Russia in protecting its infrastructure and strategic facilities, balanced with protecting its operations on the front line.

As noted, Putin and the senior Russian leadership almost certainly believe that Ukraine's ability to both attack and cause disorganization within Moscow is a significant embarrassment. It also undermines the Russian leadership's narrative of the conflict as a local operation rather than a war. 

"Russian state media covered these strikes minimally, likely reflecting the Russian leadership's concern about any potential negative public reaction," the ministry said.

Reminder 

Earlier, UNN wrote that the head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Kovalenko, stated that on the night of March 11, the largest drone raid in history took place on Moscow and the Moscow region.

According to Kovalenko, Russia is forced to strengthen the defense of Moscow, leaving other strategic facilities vulnerable.
