At least two people have been killed and three injured in the Moscow region, in what appears to be the largest drone attack on the Russian capital Ukraine has launched so far during the war.
A further 18 people, including three children, were injured, Russian media reports citing health officials.
Regional Governor Andrei Vorobyev says the casualties were in the towns of Vidnoye and Domodedovo, just outside the capital, and included a 50-year-old man who died in hospital.
State news agency Tass reports that 91 of the 337 drones were shot down over the region.
Vorobyev said the two killed both died while starting their shift at a food store
Vorobyev said two people were in a serious condition in hospital in Domodedovo: a 43-year-old woman who had suffered injuries to her torso including intestinal damage, and a 44-year-old man who had been wounded in the torso, shoulder and shin.
He said the two people killed had both died as they began their shift at a food company.
The company told Tass the two had died after debris hit its distribution centre. More than 40 cars were also damaged in the incident, it said.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said seven apartments in a residential building were damaged. The roof of one building was damaged by drone wreckage, though Sobyanin described the damage as "insignificant".
He also said 12 people - including three children - had to be evacuated from their damaged flats after the overnight strike.
