Russia downs 250 Ukrainian drones attempting to attack Moscow: Mayor
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Russian air defences intercepted and destroyed 250 Ukrainian drones targeting the capital over the weekend, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Monday.
The mayor's remarks came as some of the major airports curtailed their operations on Monday morning.
"Thank you to the Ministry of Defence's Air Defence System for your professional and dedicated work," Sobyanin wrote in a social media post, noting that about 250 fixed-wing drones, directly approaching the capital or on the second line of defence, were shot down.
