As Kiev gets ready to conduct a significant military parade that is anticipated to be visited by foreign leaders, including China’s Xi Jinping, Ukraine launched a second night in a row of drone attacks against Moscow, briefly stopping flights at four airports in the Russian capital and nine more.<\/p>\n
One night after Russian air defences shot down four drones near the city, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin announced in a Telegram post on Tuesday that at least 19 Ukrainian drones were destroyed overnight as they approached the capital.<\/p>\n
Debris from fallen drones fell on a major highway, but there were no initial reports of significant damage or injuries, according to Sobyanin. Russian aviation officials said that four of the capital’s airports had grounded flights as a safety measure.<\/p>\n
According to a Kremlin statement on Sunday, the most recent Ukrainian strike on the Russian capital occurs just before Xi is scheduled to arrive in Moscow on Wednesday for a three-day official visit during which the Chinese leader will participate in Friday’s May 9 Victory Day festivities. Other leaders are anticipated to attend, including Belarussian leader Alexander Lukashenko, Vietnamese President To Lam, and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.<\/p>\n
