50 flights were diverted
After the Ukrainian attack, three of Moscow’s four airports were closed for more than six hours and about 50 flights had to be diverted. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the media that this drone attack is another proof of the reality of Ukraine’s political leadership.
He said, “There is no way to link night-time attacks on residential areas to military action. The Kiev regime is constantly demonstrating its reality. They are our enemies and we must continue special military operations to protect ourselves from such actions.”
Russia also fired 46 drones on Ukraine
On the other hand, Russia also fired 46 drones over Ukraine, but the Ukrainian army said that it shot down 38. The Ukrainian attacks caused major damage to high-rise buildings in the Ramenskoye district, causing fire in several flats. A 46-year-old woman died here and three people were injured.
