Ukraine drones attack Moscow, disrupt Victory Day planning in Russia
Source: ABC News
Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow for the second consecutive night on Monday, as the Russian capital prepared for Victory Day celebrations that Chinese President Xi Jinping and other Kremlin-friendly world leaders are expected to attend.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said in a statement posted to Telegram on Tuesday that at least 19 Ukrainian drones were shot down en route to the capital overnight. Another four drones were shot down near Moscow on Sunday night.
Sobyanin reported no casualties or serious damage, though said debris from drones fell on a major highway. Russian aviation authorities said flights were also suspended at four of the capital's airports.
The drones shot down over Moscow were among the 202 craft intercepted across Russia over the previous 24 hours, Russia's Defense Ministry said on Tuesday morning.

Besides viewing all the dead and shredded children of Gaza - now more videos of Ukrainian men with no legs in therapy with prosthetics. Tens of thousands of men paralyzed and missing limbs.
