Moscow Airports Suspend Flights After Major Ukrainian Drone Attack

Ukraine launched a significant drone attack on Moscow early Tuesday, marking one of the largest strikes on the Russian capital during the ongoing war. The attack reportedly resulted in at least one fatality and several injuries, igniting fires and leading to the suspension of flights and rail services in the area. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin stated that many drones were intercepted, while regional governors reported damage to residential buildings and power outages in nearby regions. The strikes coincided with U.S. and Ukrainian peace talks in Saudi Arabia aimed at addressing the protracted conflict that began with Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Temporary flight restrictions were imposed at all Moscow airports as a precautionary measure. This escalation in drone attacks highlights the ongoing hostilities and raises concerns about security in the region.
