Russian air defenses on Tuesday foiled a Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow that prompted authorities to briefly close one of the city's international airports, officials said, as a Western analysis said Russia has managed to slow Kyiv's recently launched counteroffensive.
Ukrainian authorities, which generally avoid comments on attacks inside Russia's proper territory, didn't claim responsibility for the raid.
The Russian Defense Ministry said four of five drones were downed by air defenses on Moscow's outskirts and the fifth was jammed by electronic warfare means and forced down.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that there were no casualties or damage.
The drone attack prompted authorities to temporarily restrict flights at Moscow's Vnukovo airport and divert flights to two other Moscow main airports. Vnukovo is about 9 miles southwest of Moscow. The restrictions were lifted after the drone attack was repelled.

“Russia claims it repelled another drone attack by Ukraine on Moscow”
Might want to tell the American ‘mercenaries’ (LOL) to SCRAM from their forward positions, as Putin doesn’t like Moscow being attacked.
“Russia claims “
If the Ukraine says they did something the word “claim” is never attached
“If the Ukraine says they did something the word “claim” is never attached”
I’m sure Russia would be happy to show CNN the wreckage of the US Drones that were used. Oh, that’s right, CNN no longer reports from Russia as Russia outlawed fake news.
“ Russian air defenses on Tuesday foiled a Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow ”
Did Pooter buy the drones at Hobby Lobby ?
“Oh noooo, a Uke drone attack”
Wouldn’t a reasonable person assume that a country as “strong” as Russia should be able to protect their capital from cardboard drones.
They write this as if repelling these drones is some military achievement.
