Per the Russian defence ministry, Ukraine has launched a drone strike on Moscow, which has resulted in the temporary closure of one of the nation’s busiest airports.
In the attack on Tuesday, which also hit locations in the larger area surrounding the capital, five drones apparently were employed.
According to the defence ministry, no one was hurt or property was damaged while all the drones were shot down.
The alleged attack has not been attributed to Ukraine.
Some flights had to be diverted from Vnukovo Airport in response, although restrictions have now been lifted.
According to the defence ministry, four of the drones flying in the Moscow region were shot down by air defence systems. A fifth was intercepted electronically.
