Russian media say a drone attack on Moscow forced a temporary shutdown of all three major airports serving the city.
People look at a large column of burnt out and captured Russian tanks and infantry carriers which have been on display on the central Khreshchatyk boulevard as Ukrainians mark Independence Day, in Kyiv, Ukraine, Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023. – A new drone attack on Moscow early Saturday forced a temporary shutdown of all three major airports serving the city, Russian state media reported.
Russia’s defense ministry and Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said that a drone was shot down over the Istra district of the Moscow region, some 50 kilometers west of Red Square. Sobyanin said in a Telegram post that there were no immediate reports of any casualties or damage. Russian Telegram channels on Saturday posted videos, some of them apparently from home security cameras, of what they claimed was Russian air defense downing the drone. One video shows a car parked outside what appears to be suburban home, its alarm beginning to blare seconds after two loud blasts sound in the distance.
