DRAMATIC footage shows the moment Ukraine launched over 140 drones into Russia hitting Moscow in its biggest ever UAV attack on the capital.
The massive barrage struck key airports in the capital and sparked fires in a residential area just 30 miles south of the Kremlin, killing one woman.
Kyiv's kamikaze drones struck the Ramenskoye district just outside of the city, with dramatic pictures showing wrecked apartment blocks.
Scene footage showed two high-rise buildings in the area that were hit with flats inside set on fire.
It was unclear how many drones reached Moscow itself but some 15 were downed around the capital.
At least one of them hit the runway at Zhukovsky Airport, sparking a fire as flights were diverted.
Three of Moscow’s four airports were disrupted for almost seven hours as UAVs swarmed in the skies.
A woman, 46, was killed and three people wounded when an unmanned aircraft hit an apartment building in Ramenskoye.
Emergency workers were later seen carrying her body out of the blitzed residential tower.
Dozens of homes were destroyed in what is believed to be the biggest drone attack on Vladimir Putin's capital to date.

tit for tat. The Ukraine has every right to hit Russia.
You are not very smart, this is an operation as it is now, if it becomes a full blown all at war, there will be nothing left of Ukraine when it is done...and there is nothing the EU or US could do about it...it is best to deescalate and look for a negotiated settlement.
How dare they attack their attackers?
Gotta keep giving the military-industrial complex a reason to make more weapons. Otherwise the money stops flowing.
Putin can easily launch another massive attack on Kiev. Maybe that is what Z wants.
Desperation. Ukraine is doing everything possible to escalate the war in the hope that NATO can be drawn directly into the war.
No doubt this attack is in response to Russia’s recent attack on on a military communications institute in Poltava and a training center for specialists in electronic warfare and surveillance. Official Kiev says about 50 soldiers have been killed and more than 200 wounded. Military experts, including Western ones, confirm the deaths of about six hundred people, including Czech, German and French “specialists”. And Sweden is in complete shock at the loss of the entire leadership of the SAAB long-range radar detection and control systems in Poltava.
That is what Putin has been doing all along. Now he gets a taste of his own medicine. This would all stop if Putin just took his troops and went home.
Victoria Nuland, who grins like the Cheshire Cat while explaining her gov’t sabotaged a peace deal and ensured a fight to the last Ukrainian so that U.S. weapons makers could cash in, is proof that evil exists https://t.co/KXzRCB7lXB— Anya Parampil (@anyaparampil) September 9, 2024
Even though the weapons Z has are only supposed to be used for defensive purposes within his own country. I guess it is now the old, “nod, nod, wink, wink.”
3 days to Kiev
Ukraine and Russia are at war. If Russia does not want to be hit, stop attacking Ukraine.
If the US and NATO would quit trying to overthrow Russia this kind of thing wouldn’t be happening.
The nighttime Ukrainian drone strike targeted military unit 61991 and warehouses in a Moscow suburb near the town of Ramenske.
Ukrainian sources said Fateh-360 ballistic missiles, recently shipped from Iran, were stored there.
And how are they trying to overthrow Russia? Even Russia is not making this claim. Putin himself stated that his primary goal is seizing Donbas. Put aside all of the excuses. This is nothing but a land-grab and, if possible, an attempt to instal a pro-Russian government.
Putin can leave all occupied lands...but that isn’t going to happen.
So, you can’t answer and are just blowing smoke. Nice try. Not even Putin is using your claim as a justification.
Victoria Nuland admits that the US-UK encouraged Ukraine to abandon the peace deal it negotiated with Russia in April 2022. The stated reason she gives has nothing to do with the alleged Russian atrocities in Bucha, which, proxy warriors have insisted, is why Ukraine walked away.
Instead, Nuland says that the deal would have put “limits on the precise kinds of weapons systems that Ukraine could have... such that Ukraine would basically be neutered as a military force.”
So Nuland and the Biden admin were willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians so that it wouldn’t be “neutered” as a US client state for bleeding Russia.
The US sabotage of the April 2022 peace deal has been effectively censored by US media, including progressives. Perhaps this admission from one of the key saboteurs will break their oath of collective silence.
Now Putin knows how Hitler felt when Berlin was bombed in 1940 in reprisal for the Battle of Britain.
