A 15-year-old girl and her grandmother were killed in a Ukrainian strike on Russia’s Bryansk region, regional head Yegor Kovalchuk said. Another local woman was wounded.

Kovalchuk said Ukrainian forces struck the settlement of Suzemka, the administrative center of the Suzemsky district, with a Grad multiple-launch rocket system. One house was completely destroyed. Four more houses, outbuildings, a car, and a tractor were damaged.

In the Yaroslavl region, a Ukrainian drone attack killed one resident and injured four others. One of them was taken to a hospital, Governor Mikhail Evraev said.

Amid an air-raid alert, authorities closed the road out of Yaroslavl toward Moscow.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said more than 200 Ukrainian drones had attacked the Moscow area since the evening of July 15. Air defenses shot most of them down on the “distant approaches” [to the city]. Ten drones were destroyed as they neared Moscow.

Authorities in the Saratov region also reported a Ukrainian drone attack. Civilian infrastructure was damaged in Engels, Governor Roman Busargin said. Photos and videos taken by witnesses suggest that a drone crashed into an apartment building. The [independent Russian] outlet Astra and Exilenova+, a Ukrainian monitoring channel on Telegram, reported that a fire broke out at the Engels-2 military airfield.

In all, 375 Ukrainian drones were shot down over Russian regions and annexed Crimea overnight, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
