Russian authorities did not confirm the military site was hit. However, Moscow region Governor Andrey Vorobyov said a drone struck an administrative building in Dubna without causing casualties.

The report said a separate drone strike in the Moscow region hit a residential home, killing a six-month-old baby despite rescue efforts.

Russia's Defense Ministry claimed its air defenses intercepted or destroyed 419 Ukrainian drones, while Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said more than 60 drones targeting the capital were shot down.

According to CNN, Ukraine has stepped up long-range attacks on Russian military and energy infrastructure in recent weeks to increase pressure on Moscow.
