Russia said dozens of drones were launched at Moscow on Tuesday in what it said were “enemy” attacks, using its preferred euphemism for Ukraine, hours ahead of critical talks between US and Ukrainian officials.

Russian air defenses downed 69 Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow in what seems to be the largest attack aimed at the Russian capital of the three-year-long war.

MOSCOW (AP) — At least 60 Ukrainian drones targeting the Russian capital have been shot down in a massive attack on Tuesday morning, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said. Flights have been restricted in and out of two Moscow airports, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky.
