A major Ukrainian drone attack on the Moscow region has forced Russia to close two major airports in the early hours today.
The drones were destroyed in the Ramenskoye and Kolomensky districts of Moscow, its mayor Sergei Sobyanin said, claiming no major damage or casualties at the site of the downed weapons.
Russia’s federal air transport agency said it was temporarily restricting operations at the Domodedovo and Zhukovo airports at 5.30am GMT.
This comes after Russian president Vladimir Putin signed into law a treaty on the country’s strategic partnership with North Korea which includes a mutual defence provision, according to a decree published yesterday.
And Russia said it was open to hearing president-elect Donald Trump’s proposals on ending the war.
On the battlefield, Ukraine is facing increasing difficulties in its fight against Vladimir Putin’s invasion as Russian forces advance and North Korean troops prepare to join the Kremlin’s campaign, Ukraine’s top military commander Oleksandr Syrskyi said.
