MOSCOW

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said on Tuesday that 19 Ukrainian drones targeted the Russian capital overnight.

In a post on Telegram, Sobyanin said there were no reported casualties or major damage. However, Russian media aired footage showing debris from a drone hitting a residential building along Kashirskoye Highway in southern Moscow.

Separate media reports indicated that three people were killed in a fire sparked by an explosion at a residential building in southwest Moscow, though it was not confirmed whether the incident was linked to the drone attack.

In a separate statement, the Russian Defense Ministry said a total of 105 Ukrainian drones were intercepted or disabled across several regions overnight.

The regions of Bryansk, Voronezh, and Moscow were among the most affected, according to the ministry.

As a precaution, airports in Moscow, Samara, Kaluga, Volgograd, and Saratov temporarily suspended operations.

Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that he could not guarantee the safety of foreign leaders planning to visit Moscow for events marking the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.
