Moscow closed all four of its main airports for several hours into Tuesday after state media reported the military had shot down 105 Ukrainian drones overnight.
Sergei Sobyanin, the mayor of Moscow, said that at least 19 drones were destroyed on their way to the capital as it prepares for Victory Day celebrations this week.
Debris fell on a major avenue in the city's south without causing injuries, Sobyanin wrote on Telegram.
Governors in other Russian cities, including Penza and Voronezh, said they had also been targeted by Ukrainian drones.
It was the second night in a row that Russia has reported a Ukrainian drone attack, after the defence ministry claimed it had destroyed 26 overnight on Monday.

Anyone here think the Ukes will hold back from attacking DURING the day(s) of celebration, with foreign dignitaries visiting Moscow? Russia has warned Ukraine of consequences for trying to ruin their national holiday celebration but was the warning hollow?
The Russians may be getting their inventory of war materiel depleted enough that what’s left is largely nuclear. Perhaps we will indeed find out how well THAT has been maintained over the years as well. Pray for meaningful peace to come.
The old KGB officer Putin is just as likely to carry out a false flag on his own event in an effort to rally support from outraged Russian nationalists. False flag ops are his style, after all. The ends justify the means in his book.
“Ukrainian drones”. Correction, UK drones. And what is the point of attacking Moscow with them?
Putin is bringing in dictators from all over.
Very possible.
It will be a perfect false flag opportunity for Putin to take out Xi and blame it on Ukraine.

Facts on the ground.
F around f around. Pretty soon you won’t be around.
Russia conquers tree line in bombed out Ukrainian field! On to Kyiv!
Ans Assad is already there, hiding in Moscow, if he gets invited.
I guess they got the idea from the Houthis
Cut off US aid to Ukraine and Kiev falls, ending the war.
St Z is taking orders from the unelected EU leadership which is foaming at the mouth to start an all out war with Russia. Fortunately, President Trump is on to their plans for widespread war and should withdraw from NATO ASAP.
NATO article 5 should be reread by the EU leadership, Trump is NOT obligated to intervene if the EU is “ attacked” by Russia. Vlad has shown much restraint, I can’t imagine he will much longer.
Continuously poking the Bear is going to end badly for St Z and the EU.

Poppycock. You forget about Russia’s Oreshnik missiles, which there is no defense. The reason Russia’s GDP is increasing ( while the West’s is declining) is their vast manufacturing sector is on full footing, 24/7.
The amount of drones and weapons being produced is staggering, historic. The West’s arms production pales in comparison to Russia.

“ Moscow produces more weapons in three months than the entire EU defense industry, Andrius Kubilius has said
Russia is outpacing the arms production of the entire EU after significantly ramping up its defense industry despite Western sanctions, the bloc’s commissioner for defense and space, Andrius Kubilius, has said.
Kubilius, a noted Russia hawk and two-time prime minister of Lithuania, was approved by the European Parliament last month as the EU’s first ever defense commissioner.…”
