Ukraine strikes Moscow with biggest drone attack before talks with US
Ukraine launched its biggest drone attack on the Russian capital on Tuesday with at least 91 drones targeting Moscow, killing at least one person, sparking fires, closing airports and forcing dozens of flights to be diverted, Russian officials said. Advertisement A total of 337 Ukrainian drones were downed over Russia, including 91 over the Moscow region and 126 over the Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces have been pulling back, the defence ministry said. The massive dawn drone attack unfurled just as a team of Ukrainian officials prepared to meet a US team in Saudi Arabia to seek grounds for possible peace talks in the three-year-old war, and as Russian forces tried to encircle thousands of Ukrainian soldiers in the western Russian region of Kursk. As rush hour built, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said air defences were still repelling attacks on the city, which along with the surrounding region has a population of at least 21 million and is one of the biggest metropolitan areas in Europe.
