Ukraine has launched its largest drone attack yet against Moscow on the same day peace talks are due to start with delegates in Saudi Arabia, Russian officials have said.

Exploding drones targeted high-rise residential buildings in the Russian capital, days after Ukraine’s vital infrastructure was hit in an onslaught from Vladimir Putin’s troops.

Russian air defences claimed to have intercepted and destroyed 337 of the Ukrainian drones over ten regions at night, including 91 around Moscow, and 126 drones over the Kursk region, which is partially under Ukrainian control.

All four main Moscow airports – Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukova and Zhukovsky – were disrupted by the drone onslaught, delaying flights and cancelling others.

Russian officials described a ‘mass attack’, the first major strike on the capital and surrounding region since November. Hundreds of people were forced to evacuate their homes as the drones rained down.

A key focus of the Ukrainian strikes was the Kursk region, where thousands of Kyiv’s troops risk being surrounded by Russian forces backed by North Korean fighters.
