May 06, Kathmandu- Russia has claimed to have carried out overnight drone strikes targeting Moscow for the second night in a row.

Russia's aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia said in a telegram that all four major airports in the capital have been temporarily closed to ensure security.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on social media that at least 19 Ukrainian drones had been destroyed before they could reach the city "from different directions."

He said some of the debris from the destroyed drones had fallen on one of the main highways leading to the city, but there were no casualties.

Ukraine has not yet commented on the incident. However, the mayor of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv said that Russia had carried out drone strikes overnight in the city and the Kyiv region.
