Over 230 Ukrainian drones have been shot down by Russian air defense since Saturday morning, including 27 drones above the capital, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Four of Moscow's largest airports were disrupted by the attacks and were forced to close temporarily on several occasions over the weekend. At least 140 flights were canceled and over 130 were rerouted, reports BBC.
The Kaluga region, southwest of Moscow, was also affected by the drone attack. Since Saturday morning, 45 drones have been shot down and the international airport was forced to close temporarily.
This is not the first time that Ukraine's drone attacks have disrupted air traffic in Russia. In May, at least 60,000 passengers were stranded at airports across the country after Ukraine sent over 500 drones within a day, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
From Ukraine, reports are coming in that 18 out of 57 Russian drones have been stopped, but that seven people have been killed and at least 28 injured in Russian attacks on several locations in the country over the past day.
The Russian attacks were reportedly targeted at the regions of Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Kherson, and Dnipropetrovsk.
