Massive Drone Strike on Moscow: A New Chapter in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Ukraine launched a significant drone attack on Moscow, causing fires and leading to the closure of two major airports. The strikes are part of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as both sides deny targeting civilians despite numerous casualties. Peace talks are set in Saudi Arabia.

In a dramatic escalation, Ukraine targeted Moscow with what appears to be the largest drone assault yet, resulting in significant disruptions including fires and airport closures, according to officials and media reports.

Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, confirmed that 60 drones were intercepted, although damage occurred when debris hit a building. Despite the chaos, no injuries were reported, as reiterated by Sobyanin via Telegram.

The attack coincides with the United States pushing for peace negotiations, scheduled with Ukraine in Saudi Arabia, aiming to end the protracted war initiated by Russia's 2022 invasion. Meanwhile, Russia's aviation administration suspended operations at key airports, maintaining focus on air safety.
