Chaos also engulfed four of the capital’s airports – Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovskiy – with as many as 134 flights having to be redirected. By 10am local time, only two remained closed to air traffic – Vnukovo in the Moscow region and Grabtsevo in the Kaluga region.

In an interview yesterday with the New York Post, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky floated a new pending “mega-deal” with U.S. President Donald Trump to sell Ukrainian drones to the American military.

Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow caused massive traffic disruptions at the Russian capital's four airports, officials said on Sunday. In the Selenograd district, the strikes also damaged numerous high-rise buildings and cars were set on fire,

GFZ said. Russia reportedly shot down over a number of regions in the European part of Russia as well as over the Black Sea overnight.

Shahed-style drones are deadly systems that Russia has been using to strike Ukrainian cities for nearly three years.

Ukraine’s military commander in charge of the country’s drone warfare program urged the US and NATO countries alike on Wednesday to learn from Kyiv’s use of the technology on the battlefield so in the future there are not “hard questions from your children [about] when [their] father will come back.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the attack on Odesa injured six people, including a child. Russia launched over 30 missiles and 300 drones during its overnight assault that affected 10 regions of the country, he added on Telegram, and reiterated the importance of air defence provision.

Ukraine's Brave1 hopes all of its infantry will eventually carry its new anti-drone rifle rounds, designed to fire from NATO-issued rifles.
