At least nine hostile UAVs were downed en route to the Russian capital, according to Sergey Sobyanin
Moscow has repelled a multi-wave Ukrainian drone attack, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported in a series of Telegram posts early Tuesday morning.
The first five drones were intercepted by 1:16am, Sobyanin said. Another was downed about 30 minutes later, followed by three more shortly before 2am, all en route to the capital.
"According to preliminary information, there are no serious injuries or casualties," the mayor stated, adding that emergency services are working at the crash sites and "all necessary measures are being taken."
Moscow's Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky international airports temporarily suspended operations in response to the attack.
This week, Russia will be celebrating the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War. President Vladimir Putin had ordered a three-day unilateral ceasefire to coincide with the commemorations, but Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky refused to reciprocate, saying Kiev would accept nothing short of an unconditional 30-day truce.
Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials have issued veiled threats to target the military parade being held in Moscow on May 9, which will be attended by foreign dignitaries. Russia has denounced the rhetoric as evidence of Ukraine using terrorist tactics.
