Ukraine has launched a devastating attack on Russia involving 144 drones as Moscow came under sustained attack this morning.
One person, believed to be a woman, has died in the onslaught. The governor of Moscow, Andrei Vorobyov, confirmed the 46-year-old woman’s death from a strike on two high-rise apartment buildings in Ramenskoye, around 29 miles from the Russian capital. He added that three people were injured.
As a result, three major airports in and around Moscow were forced to cancel or delay flights after the brutal assault. More than 30 domestic and international flights that were set to fly out of Moscow were suspended.
Russia’s defence ministry half of the 144 drones were downed, with a majority of the attacks hitting the western border region of Bryansk. The defence ministry said around 20 drones attacked Moscow and 14 were over the Kursk region.
Ukraine has so far not commented on the attacks.
Russia’s aviation authority confirmed that the three major airports – Domodedovo, Zhukovsky and Vnukovo – shut down during the surprise attack had now resumed operations.
