Ukraine launched a new drone attack on the Moscow region early Monday, prompting the temporary closure of all Moscow airports as Russian air defenses intercepted at least 60 UAVs, according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), citing Russian reports. The incident marks the latest in a series of Ukrainian strikes targeting the Russian capital and its air transport infrastructure.
As The Zioneer reported on June 18, a previous Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow forced a similar shutdown of all flights at the city's airports, with details of that attack still emerging. A day earlier, on June 16, Ukraine carried out what sources described as its largest drone attack yet on Moscow. The pattern of repeated UAV raids has caused recurring major disruptions to Moscow air travel over the past week.
The scale of this morning's attack—at least 60 interceptions—and the grounding of all Moscow airports underscore the ongoing pressure on Russian air defenses around the capital. No information on casualties, damage from impacts, or the specific types of UAVs used has been released.
