Russia Says It Foiled Ukrainian Drone Attack On Moscow

The Russian military says it has fended off a Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow that prompted authorities to briefly close one of the city’s airports. Ukrainian authorities didn’t claim responsibility for the raid. Tuesday’s attack, which follows previous similar raids on the Russian capital, comes after a mutiny launched by mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, which saw his Wagner troops approach Moscow in the biggest challenge to Russian President Vladimir Putin in more than two decades. The Russian Defense Ministry said in the new incident four drones were downed by air defenses on the outskirts of Moscow and one was jammed and forced down. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said there were no casualties or damage.
