Mayor describes ‘one of the largest attempts to attack Moscow’ as Russia says it destroyed 45 drones
Ukraine has carried out one of its biggest drone attacks on Moscow, as Ukrainian troops continue to advance in Russia’s Kursk region, with probing raids on frontline towns and villages.
Russia’s defence ministry said it had intercepted 11 kamikaze drones before they reached the capital. Several were shot down over the city of Podolsk, 24 miles south of Moscow and not far from Domodedovo international airport. Residents heard a buzzing in the night sky followed by loud explosions.
