Airports in Moscow temporarily halted service for the second day in a row on Tuesday as Ukrainian drones again targeted the region, part of Kyiv’s strategy to bring the war to Russian civilians.
Andrey Vorobyev, governor of the Moscow Oblast, said two drones were intercepted in the region and fell outside of the capital city of Moscow. He said one fell in the city of Krasnogorsk and damaged an apartment building and nearby cars, with no casualties reported.
“The shockwave shattered windows in an apartment block and damaged cars. There were no injuries among residents, and no fire followed,” Vorobyev said, according to Russia’s TASS news agency.
TASS reported that two Moscow airports restricted service temporarily, and nine flights were redirected to alternative airports as a result. A day earlier, about 50 flights were redirected from Moscow airports due to drone attacks.
When Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow began to ramp up earlier this summer, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the war was “gradually returning to Russia’s territory, to its symbolic centers and military bases.”
Yurii Ihnat, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, said the purpose of the drone attacks on Moscow is to impact those who feel the war is distant. The comments broke from Ukraine’s previous policy of ambiguity on attacks inside Russian territory.
Not surprisingly, the Uke-Nazis are turning to terrorism against civilians as their “counter-offensive” fails all along the contact line.
The mouse that roars…
Except that Grand Fenwick won and used the victory for the good of all the world. I’m not expecting that outcome in this case. 🙁
Drone attacks are all they have left. The bear is about to go on the move. Hopefully it won’t stop until it has removed all the Nazis from Europe. The tricky part is doing so without starting a nuclear war.
The bear? Yeah, we used to call them that. Not any more.
And they’re about to go on the move? Wow, I thought they’ve been going on the move since February 2022. They are moving pretty good.
Cool story bro. Don Julio? Isn’t that the name of some sex pervert?
Umm, that was not a story, bruh.
Don Julio is also the name of a Tequila and a movie with Johnny Depp.
I’m sure there’s a criminal somewhere out there named Frank Rizzo
Did a Ukraine drone take down the aircraft that contained Prigozhin?
