Overnight strikes hit an apartment block and industrial sites near Moscow, while a drone attack on a civilian bus in Russia's Belgorod region left 19 people injured.
Overnight between July 27 and 28, 2026 — roughly from 8:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. local time — Ukrainian forces carried out a large-scale drone attack on Russia's Moscow region. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said close to 390 drones were tracked over the region, while Russia's Defense Ministry claimed 356 were intercepted across the country and occupied Crimea.
In the town of Chekhov, about 50 kilometers south of Moscow, a drone struck a residential apartment building on Zemskaya Street. Local authorities said the building's facade and two apartments were damaged, but no casualties were reported among residents.
The Hydrostalkonstruktsiya steel fabrication factory in Chekhov was also struck the same night. Falling debris from one of the drones sparked a tire fire at an open storage site elsewhere in the Moscow region.
Separately, in Russia's Belgorod region, a drone struck a civilian passenger bus in the town of Shebekino. Acting regional governor Alexander Shuvayev said 19 people were injured, six of them seriously.
Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin both commented publicly on the overnight strikes.
Nights like this one are a reminder that the war continues to reach civilians on every side of the front line. Volunteers Support Ukraine keeps helping people affected by the conflict with whatever aid it currently has available, and stories like these underline why that support still matters.
