Russia says Ukraine has launched an overnight drone attack targeting Moscow for the second night in a row

All four of the capital's major airports have been closed temporarily to ensure safety, Russia's aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia said on Telegram

Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said on social media at least 19 Ukrainian drones had been destroyed before they reached the city "from different directions". He said some of the debris had landed on one of the key highways into the city, but there were no casualties.

Ukraine has not yet commented. But the mayor of Kharkiv said Russia had also carried out drone strikes in the city overnight, as well as in the Kyiv area.

As well as in Moscow, the governors of other Russian cities, including Penza and Voronezh, also said they had been targeted by drones overnight into Tuesday.

Unconfirmed reports by Russian military bloggers suggested windows of an apartment in the south of Moscow were smashed.

It is the second night in a row that Russia has reported a drone attack by Ukraine - on Monday, Russia's defence ministry said it had destroyed 26 Ukrainian drones overnight.

Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago, Kyiv has launched several drone attacks on Moscow. Its biggest attack in March killed three people.

It comes after reports on Monday of fresh attempts by Ukraine to cross into Russia's Kursk region.

Kyiv said it had hit a drone command unit in the Kursk region on Sunday near the Russian village of Tyotkino, according to the Ukrainian general staff.

In April, Moscow said it had regained control of the entire region, nine months after a Ukrainian forces launched a surprise invasion. Kyiv insists it still has soldiers operating across the border.

Also in Kursk, Russian officials reported an electrical substation in the town of Rylsk lost power on Monday after being damaged in an attack by Ukraine.

Two transformers at the substation in Rylsk had been damaged, according to acting governor of the Kursk region, Alexander Khinshtein, in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

He added two teenagers had been injured by shrapnel from the blast.

Multiple Russian military bloggers also reported that Ukrainian forces had attempted to cross into the village, posting images - as yet unverified by the BBC - of vehicles breaking through tank traps on the border.

On Monday, Ukrainian forces fired missiles over the border and crossed minefields in special vehicles, according to the bloggers.

"The enemy blew up bridges with rockets at night and launched an attack with armoured groups in the morning," blogger RVvoenkor said according to Reuters news agency.

"The mine clearance vehicles began to make ages in the minefields, followed by armoured vehicles with troops. There is a heavy battle going on at the border."

In a statement on Monday, Ukraine said: "Nine months after the start of the Kursk operation, Ukraine's Defence Forces maintain a military presence on the territory of Russia's Kursk region."

While there has been no official response from Moscow, some military bloggers have also published maps showing opposing forces attempting to cross the border in two places towards Tyotkino - near where the drone command unit that was hit.

Meanwhile, in Sumy - around 12km across the border from Tyotkino in north-eastern Ukraine - local authorities urged people to evacuate from two settlements, Reuters reported.

Ukraine originally made its surprise incursion into Kursk in August 2024 to create a buffer zone and protect Sumy and surrounding areas, while also hoping to use it as a bargaining chip in future negotiations.

Ukraine should fold her hands and watch while Russia bombs them into smithereens? Aside nuclear weapons Russia can't invade Chad and conquer them not to talk of Ukraine. Do you understand what it means to defend your country from external invaders? At least you and I know that Putin will never invade another country again till he dies. 3 day special military operation my azz!!

To say this comment of yours is unfortunate is an understatement.

Keep quiet dia, always repeating CNN and BBC talking points.
If Ukraine didn't undermine Russia security by collaborating with Russia's mortal enemy called NATO there won't be this war, you want Putin and Russia to fold their hands and watch NATO destroy their country and kill their leader like it did to Libya and Gaddafi which Africa as a whole has been suffering from the consequences since 2011.

It's your type that was watching Al-Jazeera and cheering Alqaeda and calling them Freedom Fighters because Al-Jazeera told you that Gaddafi a man who turned Libya into the most prosperous country in Africa was suddenly a dictator killing his own people.

Keep posting articles on Nairaland about how Capt Ibrahim Traore is now stealing the Gold of Burkina Faso and killing Burkinabes, you think we are still in the era where we got all our information from CNN, BBC and Lagos Ibadan Expressway newspapers to the beggarly comedian in Ukraine who has sacrificed millions of Ukrainians for his western puppet masters trying to fighter a bigger, more prosperous, stronger nuclear power like Russia.

Zelensky is even lucky that Putin sees Ukraine as brothers and is fighting with so much restraint and not doing what Netanyahu is doing to Gaza on them which he has capacity to do a multiple folds than Israel.

You people should stop quoting that iam***. Stop making low iq persons popular.

Russia trying hard to look for sympathy.. it began the madness,no narrative change evil to good. Evil is evil and men of conscience must see it as so no matter powers involved.

Dummy!

"Russia cannot invade a small nation like Chad without nuclear weapons".... But the same Russia invaded Ukraine without Nukes and has permanently occupied the juicest lands in Ukraine.

The same Russia defeated Nazi without Nukes. Georgia nko?

You should be more worried about the US that lost to the poorest nation on earth. Goat herders walking on barefoot without a standing army.

The US spent 4 trillion dollars and 20 years.... And still lost. Even though the entire 30 NATO nations sent their best troops to help them.

Russia is feeling the heat and they should lay down their arms and embrace peace.

WriterrNg:



People that lost 27 million people in WW2 and still went ahead to win the war and became the greatest military power on earth is who you think tiny drone strikes in Moscow will make them not achieve all their goals?

Don't worry you'll learn.

Indeed, the greatest military in the world yet a rogue Nation like North Korea is ing them. Russia had thought the war would end within weeks... What's the story now?
