Jan 5 (Reuters) - Ukraine has targeted Moscow with drones every day of 2026 so far, according to data published by Russia’s Defence Ministry, in what appeared to mark an escalation from earlier, more sporadic attacks on the Russian capital. Ukraine says such attacks aim to disrupt military logistics and energy infrastructure, raise costs for Moscow’s war effort and respond to repeated Russian missile and drone attacks in the war that Russia launched nearly four years ago. The disruption comes during Russia’s extended New Year and Orthodox Christmas break, which this year runs through January 9, when many Russians take vacations and travel domestically and abroad, making it one of the country’s busiest periods for transport and tourism.
