Reference News Network, October 29 report. According to Reuters, on October 28, Russia stated that Ukraine launched drones toward Moscow for the third consecutive night, disrupting air traffic around the capital.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said in a statement that its air defense forces destroyed 57 Ukrainian drones within three hours starting at 17:00 GMT on October 27, with four drones shot down over the Moscow area and eight in the surrounding regions.
Over the past few months, Kyiv has continuously launched long-range drone attacks on Moscow and other parts of Russia. Kyiv claims the purpose is to strike military and industrial targets, weaken Russia's war economy, and show the Russian people that the war is no longer far away from them.
The Russian aviation regulatory authority stated that two of Moscow's four airports (Domodedovo Airport and Zhukovsky Airport) were briefly closed for safety reasons.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on the Telegram software that emergency personnel have been dispatched to the site where a drone crashed on a flight heading to Moscow.
