Airports grounded, the sky on warning: Flights suspended as Russia shut down the huge Ukrainian drone attack

Russian officials say they canceled a major Ukrainian drone attack, with more than 100 drone intercepts on Tuesday and Wednesday morning in several areas including the capital.According to a post on Telegram by Russia’s Ministry of Defense, 112 Ukrainian drones were “destroyed” in six areas within a interval of three hours before midnight. The drone targeted major areas including Briansk, Kursk, Belgorod, Libra, Oroll and Kaluga.According to the AFP, twelve drones targeted to the capital were shot dead, citing Russia’s federal aviation transport agency, according to AFP, temporary flight suspension at VNUKVO and Zhukovsky airports.The Ministry of Defense said that the Bryn region was the most difficult killed, with 59 drones sent to the south -western region near the Ukrainian border.This massive drone attack follows Ukraine’s report earlier this week that it ended the most intense wave of Russian drone attacks since the onset of the invasion in 2022. In a three -day period ending on Monday, Ukraine claimed that Russia launched over 900 drones, including three children, including three children, who were killed in Sunday’s barrage.While Russian authorities often report drone activity, such a wide area and so much of the drone on a short time is rare. Moscow, located hundreds of kilometers from the Ukrainian border, often does not focus on massive attacks, although recent weeks have seen more frequent flight variations due to airplane hazards.The Russian Ministry of Defense said on Tuesday that it launched drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian civic establishments and called Ukrainian “provocative”.
