Moscow Shot Down Drones for Third Day as Xi, Lula Due to Arrive
Russia's air defense shot down nine drones flying toward Moscow, the capital's mayor said, in an incident coming just before foreign leaders including the presidents of China and Brazil are expected in the city for Victory Day celebrations.
Two of four Moscow airports, including the one that typically handles government-delegation flights, temporarily suspended operations early Wednesday morning, aviation officials said, adding normal service has since resumed.
