One of Ukraine’s largest ever drone strikes against Russia’s regions, including Moscow, has killed at least four people and wounded a dozen more, the Russian authorities have said.

The wave of almost 600 Ukrainian drones struck overnight across 14 Russian regions, as well as the Crimean peninsula and the Black and Azov seas.

Anton was joined by Emmanuelle Chaze, Ukraine Correspondent for Radio France Internationale And France24 to discuss this further.
