Russian forces intercepted more than 100 Ukrainian drones fired at almost a dozen regions of Russia in an attack that forced all four airports around Moscow to temporarily suspend flights, the Defence Ministry in Moscow has said.

Nine other regional Russian airports also temporarily stopped operating as drones struck areas along the border with Ukraine and deeper inside Russia, according to Russia’s civil aviation agency, Rosaviatsia, and the Defence Ministry on Tuesday.
