Ukraine launched an overnight drone attack targeting Moscow in a second night attack in a row, prompting the closure of all airports in Russia's capital for several hours, officials said early on Tuesday, APA reports citing NDTV.
According to Moscow's Mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, at least 19 Ukrainian drones were destroyed on their approach "from different directions," causing no major destruction or injuries.
However, Russia's aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia said flights were halted at all four airports that serve Moscow for several hours overnight to ensure air safety. Airports in a number of regional cities were also closed.
