Drones are launching a massive attack on Russia.
On the night of October 22, several regions in Russia reported drone attacks, explosions, and air defense activities. Reports came from the Moscow, Lipetsk, Tula, Kursk, and Belgorod regions. This was reported by the Telegram monitoring channels Exilenova+ and Supernova+.
How many drones were flying toward Moscow
On the night of October 22, Russian air defenses allegedly shot down 163 drones approaching Moscow. According to the mayor of the Russian capital Sergei Sobyanin, a total of 630 UAVs were flying toward the Moscow Region from the evening of October 21 until 4:00 a.m. on October 22, most of which, he claimed, were intercepted at distant frontiers.
According to Sobyanin, two people were injured in the Voronovo district, which is part of New Moscow. The mayor stated that they are receiving the necessary assistance.
According to reports from Russian authorities, emergency services are working at the sites where debris fell. There is no independent confirmation yet of the figures cited by Sobyanin regarding the number of drones.
At the same time, residents of northern Moscow reported a loud explosion.
Some reports mentioned Serpukhov in the Moscow Region. Monitoring channels speculated that the region may have been struck not only by drones but also by missiles. However, the type of weaponry used and the results of a possible missile attack have not been officially confirmed.
Explosions in Lipetsk
In Lipetsk, local residents reported explosions, after which a fire broke out in a high-rise building.
The governor of the Lipetsk region, Igor Artamonov, confirmed a drone attack on the region. According to him, as a result of the drone attack in various districts of Lipetsk, Russia, windows and facades of several private homes and apartment buildings were damaged. A clinic building on Merkulova Street was also damaged. At the time of the incident, the medical facility was closed, and there were no people inside. Emergency services are working at the sites where debris fell, and all reports regarding the consequences of the attack are being verified.

Has Ukraine confirmed its involvement in the attack
As of this publication, the Ukrainian military command has not officially confirmed its involvement in the described nighttime attack and has not reported on its results.
Therefore, information regarding the use of missiles, the number of drones allegedly destroyed by Russian air defense systems, and the extent of the damage should be viewed with the understanding that some of the data comes from Russian officials and monitoring channels.
