A Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow has forced two major airports to close.
Russian air defence systems were battling overnight to repel repeated attacks targeting Moscow that led to the closure of Domodedovo airport and Zhukovsky airport, authorities said on Monday.
Russia downed 28 drones within a five-hour span from 10pm on Sunday Moscow time, the city’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said on Telegram.
The airports, two of Moscow’s four international hubs, were closed to ensure air safety, aviation watchdog Rosaviatsiya said.
Information about potential damage has yet to emerge.
Russia rarely discloses the full scale of damages inflicted by Ukrainian strikes inside its territory unless civilian objects are involved.
There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.
Kyiv has said that its attacks aim at destroying Russia’s infrastructure key to conducting Moscow’s war.
