Ukraine targeted the Moscow region with more than 350 drones over a 24-hour period ending Monday, rather than exactly 400 today. However, this intensive wave follows an identical scale of assault just days ago on July 7, 2026, when Moscow authorities officially confirmed that over 430 Ukrainian long-range drones targeted the capital region.

The Latest Wave (July 12–13, 2026)The Scale: Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that more than 350 drones flew toward the broader Moscow region starting Sunday evening. This marked a second consecutive day of major raids, following an attack involving roughly 300 drones the previous day. [2, 4]
The Impact: Russian air defenses reportedly destroyed at least 50 drones as they actively closed in on the capital. The defense ministry stated that 342 drones were intercepted across Russia and occupied Crimea overnight into Monday morning. [2, 4]
Disruptions: Flight restrictions were temporarily forced across all four of Moscow’s major airports, though standard operations have since been restored. [4]
Casualties: Three fatalities were reported in the region surrounding the capital due to the falling wreckage and impacts. [2]The Context Behind the 400+ Figure
If you are tracking the specific milestone of “more than 400 drones,” that record-setting raid occurred on July 7, 2026. During that overnight wave, Mayor Sobyanin confirmed that 430 drones targeted Moscow and its surrounding oblast, making it the largest concentrated air raid on the Russian capital in two years. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed a nationwide total of 452 drone interceptions during that specific event. [1, 3, 5]
These compounding back-to-back aerial barrages highlight Ukraine’s rapidly scaling long-range domestic drone fleet, aimed at disrupting Russian logistics and bringing the psychological weight of the war directly to Russia’s heavily defended center of power. [6][1] pravda.com.ua
