Russia stated that Ukraine launched hundreds of drones toward Moscow on Thursday morning, causing authorities to shut down the capital's airports, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The reported scale of the attack has not been independently verified.
A fresh wave of Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow this morning on a scale Russian authorities described as hundreds of devices, leading to a shutdown of the capital's airports, Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) reported. This is the second day in a row of major drone activity near Moscow. On Wednesday early hours Russia claimed 555 Ukrainian drones were intercepted overnight, and ongoing waves were reported through the morning — a pattern now extending into Thursday. Those figures remain based on Russian official sources and have not been independently corroborated. The airport closures are a tangible civil-disruption consequence that had not occurred in the previous waves. The Russian claim of "hundreds" is notably imprecise; previous statements named exact interception counts. What remains unconfirmed: the Ukrainian military has not commented on the operation; no casualty or impact details are available; and no independent visual documentation of drones over central Moscow has yet emerged.
