Drone war escalates: Moscow and Kyiv on the attack spree!

A frightening drone attack by the Ukrainian armed forces on Moscow in the early morning of March 23, 2025 left at least three people dead. As Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov reported on Telegram, the Ukrainian drones hit members of a company in Domodedovo, not far from the capital, while they were on duty. In addition, 14 people required medical attention after the attack. This represents Ukraine's largest drone attack since the start of the conflict, highlighting the tense situation in the region as talks take place in Saudi Arabia about a possible end to the war, as zeit.de reported.

Russian attacks on Kyiv and civilian targets

As part of a massive counterattack, Russia simultaneously attacked Ukraine with a surge of drone strikes. Mayor Vitali Klitschko of Kiev announced on Telegram that several parts of the city were affected, fires had broken out and rescue workers were on duty. This aggression follows an alleged promise by Moscow to pause attacks on Ukraine's energy structures during negotiations with US President Donald Trump. Instead, the Russian military is now increasingly concentrating on civilian targets, which further exacerbates the already dramatic situation for the civilian population kleinezeitung.at reported.

At the same time, the consequences of the Russian attacks also had to be accepted in Ukraine, in which, among other things, a fuel depot caught fire and people were injured. These escalations not only show the extent of the military conflicts, but also the increasing dangers for the civilian population in both countries. In this tense situation, pressure is increasing from both sides and the spectrum of attacks continues to expand, while the possibilities for peace seem distant.
