Impact verdict

Medium impact.

Evidence: ~200 drones reportedly launched at Moscow, indicating significant escalation in strike tempo against a Tier-1 capital. Limit: Damage assessment, infrastructure impact, and confirmed business interruption remain unquantified; no commercial loss estimate is available.
