Ukraine strikes Moscow with its biggest drone attack ahead of ceasefire talks with US
Ukraine on Tuesday launched its biggest ever drone attack on Moscow, killing at least two workers at a meat warehouse, injuring 18 others and causing a short shutdown at the Russian capital’s four airports, Russian officials said.
A total of 337 drones were downed over Russia, including 91 over Moscow region and 126 over Kursk region where Ukrainian forces have been pulling back, the defence ministry said.
The dawn attack unfurled before US officials started meeting with a Ukrainian delegation in Saudi Arabia to seek an end of the three-year-war and as Russian forces tried to encircle thousands of Ukrainian soldiers in the western Russian region of Kursk.
Kyiv has suffered repeated mass strikes from Russia throughout the war and said it was targeted by a ballistic missile and 126 drones on Tuesday. It has tried to hit back against its vastly bigger neighbour with repeated drone raids on oil refineries, airfields and even early-warning radar stations.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said Tuesday’s barrage was the biggest Ukrainian drone attack on the city, which along with the surrounding region has a population of at least 21 million and was one of the biggest metropolitan areas in Europe.
