In the early hours of 30 August, six Russian regions were targeted by a massive drone attack — the largest since the start of the invasion of Ukraine. The strikes hit an airport in Pskov, targeted the Bryansk, Ryazan, Kaluga, Oryol, and Moscow regions, as well as Sevastopol, a city in Russia-annexed Crimea.
Novaya Gazeta Europe has mapped out the locations struck by drones overnight.
