The Kyiv Independent reported yesterday (February 22), that Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow resulted in the closure of four airports.
“Flights were temporarily suspended at Moscow’s Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky airports,” the article stated. “While the capital is well-defended against aerial threats, Ukrainian officials have said that disrupting aviation operations is a strategic way of bringing the Kremlin’s war home to the Russian population.”
The Kyiv Independent said that more than 20 drones had been shot down en route to Moscow yesterday afternoon and evening.
