Ukraine struck the Moscow region on Tuesday in its biggest drone attack so far on the Russian capital, killing at least one woman, wrecking dozens of homes and forcing around 50 flights to be diverted from airports around Moscow.

Russia, the world’s biggest nuclear power, said it destroyed at least 20 Ukrainian attack drones as they swarmed over the Moscow region, which has a population of more than 21 million, and 124 more over eight other regions.

At least one person was killed near Moscow, Russian authorities said. Three of Moscow’s four airports were closed for more than six hours and almost 50 flights were diverted.

A damaged building in Ramenskoye in the Moscow region is seen following a Ukrainian drone attack.

Kyiv said Russia, which sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022, had attacked it overnight with 46 drones, of which 38 were destroyed.

The drone attacks on Russia damaged at high-rise apartment buildings in the Ramenskoye district of the Moscow region, setting flats on fire, residents told Reuters.

A 46-year-old woman was killed and three people were wounded in Ramenskoye, Moscow regional governor Andrei Vorobyov said.

Russian officials say they shot down 144 Ukrainian drones around the country overnight in a wave of attacks that have killed one woman, set residential buildings on fire and grounded flights in Moscow.

The governor of Moscow, Andrei Vorobyov, said several flats in two high-rise apartment buildings in Ramenskoye in Moscow region were set on fire.

Mr Vorobyov said a 46-year-old woman died and three people were injured in Ramenskoye, while 43 people were evacuated to temporary accommodation centres.

Ukraine has so far not commented on the attacks, but the Kremlin on Tuesday said the attack showed Ukraine was Russia's enemy.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said in a daily call with reporters that the strike showed the need for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine, saying: "We must continue the military operation in order to protect ourselves from such displays of this regime."

Russia's defence ministry said earlier that of the 144 drones that its air defences intercepted, half were in the western border region of Bryansk, 20 were in Moscow and 14 were over the Kursk region.

State media reported that the strikes shut down four airports in Moscow and more than 30 domestic and international flights that serve the Russian capital were suspended.

Russia's aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, confirmed on Telegram on Tuesday morning that three of the airports - Domodedovo, Zhukovsky and Vnukovo - had resumed operations.

Ukraine on Tuesday (September 10) launched its biggest drone attack to date on Moscow.

The 144-drone bombardment killed at least one woman near the capital, Russian authorities said, and wrecked dozens of homes.

Russia said it downed at least 20 of Ukraine’s drones as they swarmed over the Moscow region - which has a population of over 21 million.

Footage from the city’s Ramenskoye district showed fires breaking out in homes after drones damaged high-rise apartment buildings.

And according to Moscow’s regional governor, it was in this district that a woman was killed and three people were injured.

Yulia Rodionova is a resident in the area - her windows were shattered and a fragment of a drone was left on her balcony.

"A man was taken out from the house number 21 - he had his side burnt and a fragment wound. They also carried out another man, a very elderly one, and quickly got out a woman. That's all I saw, I don't know any more."

Russia’s defense ministry said over 70 drones were also downed over the Bryansk region and tens more over other regions.
