Russia Reports Major Drone Attack, Suspends Flights
Imagine a swarm of tiny flying robots, called drones, trying to attack Russia.
Russia says they stopped over 100 of these drones from reaching their targets.
These drones were aiming at places like the capital city and areas near the border.
Because of the danger, some airports had to stop planes from taking off and landing.
This happened quickly, all within a few hours.
In response, Russia launched their own attacks using similar weapons against places in Ukraine.
This follows Ukraine's report that they had endured the most intense wave of Russian drone strikes since the beginning of the invasion in 2022.
Russia reported intercepting over 100 Ukrainian drones across multiple regions.
The attacks occurred late Tuesday and early Wednesday.
Key areas targeted include Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, Tula, Oryol, and Kaluga.
Flight suspensions were implemented at Vnukovo and Zhukovsky airports.
Russia responded with drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian civilian installations.
