A HUGE Ukrainian drone strike has forced Russia to shut all four of its major airports in a dramatic show of force against Moscow.

This marks the second night in a row of air attacks on the capital. Russia’s aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, announced that airports were temporarily closed “to ensure safety,” and they reopened only several hours later.

Moscow’s mayor Sergei Sobyanin said at least 19 Ukrainian drones were destroyed before reaching the city “from different directions.”

He added: “Some of the debris had landed on one of the key highways into the city,” but claimed there were no casualties.

The city was on edge, with Russian military bloggers reporting—though unverified—that explosions had broken apartment windows in southern Moscow.
