"Tragedy in Ukraine: Indian Citizen Killed, 3 Others Injured in Moscow Drone Attack"

Russian Air Defenses Shoot Down 120 Drones Headed to Moscow, India Mourns Loss of Worker

In a tragic turn of events, Russian air defenses intercepted and shot down over 120 drones heading towards Moscow, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin confirmed. The incident resulted in the death of an Indian worker and injuries to three others in the Moscow region. The Indian embassy in Russia expressed deep sorrow over the loss and provided assistance to the injured individuals.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy justified the drone strikes, stating they were "entirely justified" amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia. The Russian embassy in India mourned the loss of the Indian worker and attributed the attack to Ukraine, although the Indian embassy did not confirm this claim.

Since the begiing of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022, at least 22 Indian nationals have lost their lives, with the recent casualty marking the first Indian fatality in the Moscow region. The Indian government has been monitoring the situation closely, with efforts to repatriate Indian citizens caught in the conflict.

The government has been actively involved in assisting Indian nationals trapped in conflict zones, particularly in Russia. Efforts have been made to bring back individuals who were lured into joining the armed forces under false pretenses. The Ministry of External Affairs has been working to ensure the safety and repatriation of Indian citizens affected by the conflict.
