Ukraine attacks Moscow with drones as incursion continues
The Guardian
|August 22, 2024
Ukraine carried out one of its biggest drone attacks on Moscow overnight on Tuesday, as troops continued to advance in Russia's Kursk region with probing raids on frontline towns and villages.
Russia's defence ministry said it had intercepted 11 kamikaze drones before they reached the capital. Several were shot down over the city of Podolsk, about 24 miles south of Moscow and not far from Domodedovo International Airport. Residents heard a buzzing in the night sky followed by loud explosions.
The ministry said it had destroyed 45 drones over Russian territory, including 23 in the border region of Bryansk and six over the Belgorod region. Two more were intercepted above Kursk province, where Ukraine launched a surprise invasion two weeks ago. Three more were downed over Kaluga. Others were spotted in the northern Murmansk region, apparently heading for an airfield used by strategic bombers.
"This is one of the largest attempts to attack Moscow using drones ever," the city's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, wrote yesterday morning on the Telegram messaging app.
