At least 140 drones have been launched by Ukraine into Russia, killing one person and injuring three others, according to Russian officials.
Moscow's regional governor Andrei Vorobyov confirmed several buildings have been damaged and there has been at least one fatality. 'A woman was killed and three more people sustained injuries. Five residential buildings near one of those damaged have been evacuated as emergency services were handling drone debris,' Mr Vorobyov said. If the figures are confirmed, it would be one of the biggest Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian soil in the two-and-a-half-year war.
A total of 48 flights were diverted to other airports, according to Russia's civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia. In Moscow, drone debris fell on a house on the outskirts of the city, but no one was hurt, mayor Sergei Sobyanin said. He counted over a dozen drones heading towards Moscow, which were shot down as they approached the city.
