Ukraine has carried out a terrible drone attack in the Russian capital Moscow. With this, the Russian capital has come under Ukrainian drone attacks for the second consecutive night. Meanwhile, four airports in Moscow have been temporarily closed after the latest attack.

Russia has also claimed to have shot down several Ukrainian drones. This information was reported by the British media BBC in a report on Tuesday (May 6).

The media says that the Russian capital Moscow has come under Ukrainian drone attacks for the second consecutive night. The Russian aviation regulator Rosaviatsia said that Moscow's four main airports—Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Zhukovsky—have been temporarily closed for security reasons.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said at least 19 Ukrainian drones had been shot down over the city. However, some of the drone debris fell on a major highway in the city, although there were no casualties.

Ukraine has not yet commented on the reports of the attack in Moscow.

Meanwhile, a Ukrainian attack on a power substation in the town of Rylsk in the Kursk region of Russia damaged a power plant. Russian officials said the attack injured two teenagers and knocked out power to parts of the town.

The Ukrainian military claimed it had successfully attacked a Russian drone command unit near the village of Teotkino in the Kursk region. Ukraine claimed that the operation had caused significant losses to Russian forces.

Russian military bloggers reported that Ukrainian forces had attempted to cross the border into the Kursk region. They had crossed minefields and attacked Russian defenses with armored vehicles. At this time, Russian forces tried to repel Ukrainian forces by blowing up the bridge.

Following the attack, local authorities in the Sumy region bordering Ukraine ordered the evacuation of residents from two settlements. The move is believed to have been taken in fear of a possible Russian counterattack.

It is worth noting that Ukraine took control of some areas in the Kursk region in August last year in a surprise operation. However, Russia later claimed that it had recaptured the entire region. Although Ukraine claims that its troops are still active in the Kursk region.
