Ukraine-linked drones struck a military logistics hub near Moscow while Russian air defenses intercepted 347 drones across 20 regions overnight. Moscow will temporarily restrict mobile internet and SMS on May 9, including access to the government white-list of websites, as authorities tighten security for Victory Day commemorations. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova sent a diplomatic notice on May 7 naming May 9 as a heightened threat window, and the strikes raise the risk of dangerous military escalation during the holiday.
