MOSCOW, March 11. /TASS/. Secretary General of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Feridun Sinirlioglu dodged a direct answer to a question on whether the organization intended to condemn today's Ukrainian drone attack on Russia.

When reporters asked Sinirlioglu whether the OSCE would condemn the drone attack following his talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, he only expressed hope that "the war will soon be over" and that there will be no more such attacks.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, 337 Ukrainian drones were shot down over Russian regions last night, with 91 unmanned aerial vehicles downed over the Moscow Region. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said that air defenses had repelled the largest-ever drone attack on the Russian capital. The Investigative Committee of Russia launched a criminal investigation into an act of terrorism with regard to the large-scale drone attack. The Russian Health Ministry specified that 18 people, including three children, were injured and three adults were killed as a result. The attack damaged residential and other buildings, and caused cars to burn down.
