Daily Mail reports that Russia's ministry of defense released a statement that they had shot down 144 Ukrainian drones over various regions in the country. The outlet reports that this "marks one of the largest drone assaults against Russia since the beginning of the war."
Moscow's regional governor Andrey Vorobyov stated on Telegram that a UAV had damaged 2 apartment buildings in Moscow, 30 miles southeast of the Kremlin where Russian President Vladimir Putin resides. He also said that a 46-year-old woman was killed and several people were wounded from the UAV blast.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported that a runway at a Moscow airport had been set ablaze by falling debris from a downed drone. Four local airports total had canceled or delayed Tuesday morning flights.
Several videos were taken of the Moscow drone attack by locals and circulated on social media platforms. Many show firey scenes as blasts destroy parts of tall buildings. Other footage shows the aftermath of the strikes.
This new attack comes just over a month after Ukraine launched a massive cross-border offensive into Russia's Kursk region, forcing thousands of locals to evacuate.
