Russian air defences down two drones en route to Moscow, defence ministry says

MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian air defences shot down 10 Ukrainian drones over three Russian regions on Monday, including two en route to Moscow, the Russian defence ministry said.

The Russian capital’s three main airports were all forced briefly to restrict incoming and outgoing flights. Drones were also shot down over the Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine, and the Kaluga region, southwest of Moscow.

Moscow’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said in a statement that emergency services were working at the scene of the downed drones.
