Following the latest drone attacks, Russian government spokesperson Dmitry Peskov condemned “the Kyiv regime” and “its propensity for terrorist acts.”
Ukrainian forces said they had hit two military-industrial plants in Russia.
“Unlike the Russians, who are hitting residential high-rise buildings in peaceful cities, the SBU [Ukraine’s counterintelligence service] is working clearly on military facilities that help the enemy carry out armed aggression against Ukraine,” an SBU official told POLITICO.
“Work on weakening Russia’s military capabilities will continue,” the official added.
According to a message that Russian flag carrier Aeroflot sent to its passengers, “temporary restrictions” were introduced Tuesday night at Sheremetyevo Airport, the country’s busiest hub.
Independent Russian-language media outlet Meduza reported similar messages from other airlines, indicating that operations at other Moscow airports have been halted due to Ukrainian drone activity and that flights are being diverted to other destinations.
