Four waves of drone attacks were reported in Russia from the early hours of Nov. 26, with the Russian Ministry of Defense claiming to have "downed" 24 drones across five regions, as well destroying two missiles over the Sea of Azov.

The Russian capital has come under attack from drones regularly since May, with Russian officials blaming Ukraine. Military analysts commented at the time that the early attacks deployed Ukrainian locally made drones which could not carry as heavy a payload as the Iranian-made Shaheds used by Russia.

Ukraine reported considerable success against Russia's most intense drone onslaught of the war, but there are fears of much more to come.
