At least 91 drones descended on Russian capital, forcing flights and train services to be suspended

Ukraine targeted Moscow early on Tuesday in possibly its largest ever drone attack on the Russian capital, reportedly killing at least one person. The attack sparked fires and forced the suspension of flights and train travel, authorities said.

The Russian defence ministry said 337 drones were launched at Russia over Monday night, with 91 of them targeting the Moscow region. The Moscow city mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said it was the largest Ukrainian drone attack on the city. The governor of the wider region, Andrei Vorobyov, said: “At the moment, one person is known to have died and three were injured.”
