Russian officials reported that Moscow came under attack from drones last night. Four of them were shot down and a fifth was brought down by electronic jamming, according to Russian sources, which blamed the attacks on Ukraine. Ukraine has declined to comment on the attacks and as a rule does not claim responsibility for any strikes on Russian territory.
According to Reuters, two of the drones were shot down near a village 19 miles southwest of Moscow, and landings and takeoffs were halted for several hours at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport, one of three that serve the city. One drone was reportedly shot down near Kubinka to the west of Moscow, site of a Russian Air force base which hosts the nation’s aerobatic display team.
