drone attack in Moscow that prompted authorities to briefly close one of the city’s main airports.
The Russian defence ministry claimed Ukraine had attacked the capital with at least five drones on Tuesday. It said four drones were shot down by city air defences while a fifth jammed and crashed into the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region. One of the drones was shot down near the town of Kubinka, 40 miles west of Moscow where a Russian air base is located, according to the state-runnews agency. Two drones were reportedly intercepted near a village 19 miles south-west of the Kremlin, while another was detected in the neighbouring Kaluga region.
Landing and take-off at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport were restricted for several hours early on Tuesday before normal operations resumed after 8am local time. Flights from Russia, Turkey, the UAE and Egypt were diverted.
