POLICY WIRE — Moscow, Russia — A drone assault on Moscow early Monday morning resulted in injuries to ten individuals, including three Chinese nationals, according to officials. The attack involved approximately 400 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The drone swarm targeted various locations within the city, causing damage to several buildings — and infrastructure. Emergency services were promptly deployed to the affected areas to provide medical assistance — and ensure public safety.

Authorities haven’t yet attributed the attack to any specific group, but it comes amid heightened tensions between Ukraine and Russia. The incident underscores the escalating nature of the conflict — and its potential impact on international citizens.

In a related development, tensions continue to rise in various global hotspots. Recently, the Chinese Coast Guard was reported to have struck a Philippine Navy vessel, further complicating regional dynamics. Iran has struck US installations amid threats of a Houthi blockade, indicating a broader spectrum of international conflicts.
