MOSCOW, July 30, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Three Ukrainian drones were downed over Moscow early Sunday, Russia's defence ministry said, in an attack that briefly shut an international airport. "One Ukrainian UAV was destroyed in the air by air defence systems over the territory of the Odintsovo district of Moscow region. Earlier this month, a volley of drone attacks briefly disrupted air traffic at the same airport, to the city's southwest. The attacks on Moscow come several weeks into a Ukrainian counter-offensive to claw back territory captured by Russia since large-scale hostilities erupted in February 2022. In early July, a Russian drone attack hit an apartment building in the same city, killing three and wounding 21.
