In a dramatic escalation of hostilities, Ukraine has launched a series of drone attacks targeting Moscow for the second consecutive night, leading Russian authorities to close all airports in the capital and triggering a state of emergency in multiple regions, including Novorossiysk. As Ukraine aims at key military and transport infrastructure ahead of significant national events, Moscow has reported the interception of numerous drones, with officials confirming several drone strikes that have caused injuries and infrastructure damage. Reports indicate a major air defense response, with Russia claiming it has shot down at least 18 drones across various regions, as concerns grow over ongoing attacks impacting traffic and safety. The situation continues to develop, with experts warning of rising panic in Russia as the drone threats persist in the lead-up to important celebrations.
