Russia’s air defenses have destroyed 147 incoming Ukrainian drones overnight, including several targeting Moscow, the country’s Defense Ministry has said. Moscow was among the regions targeted by Ukraine during this attack.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin confirmed that the Russian capital was targeted by two drones, both of which were downed before reaching their destinations. He added that emergency services are working at the sites where the drone debris fell, according to a report by RT.
In total, 198 drones were intercepted between 8:00 pm on Monday and 7:00 am on Tuesday, according to the ministry. Officials have not provided any data on the damage or casualties incurred due to the raids.
The drone raids led to temporary suspensions at several major airports, including key Moscow hubs. Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency said flights at Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Zhukovsky, Sheremetyevo, Kaluga, Nizhny Novgorod, and Tambov airports were suspended for safety reasons.
Meanwhile, officials in Kursk Region, which borders Ukraine, said that a total of 21 incoming drones had been shot down. –RT

In recent weeks, Ukraine has significantly ramped up drone strikes targeting Russia. Moscow has accused Kiev of attempting “terrorist” attacks on the country’s railway infrastructure, which have led to civilian fatalities. According to the Kremlin, the indiscriminate raids are intended to derail direct bilateral talks.
But Russia has also increased its attacks on Ukraine as the U.S. has decided to egregiously limit the military and financial aid being sent to Kiev to attempt to keep the war going.
