Russian air defences destroyed a drone approaching Moscow and two in a region bordering Ukraine, authorities said early Monday.
Air defences in the Lyubertsy district southeast of the capital "destroyed a drone flying towards Moscow," the city`s mayor Sergei Sobyanin wrote on Telegram, without naming an attacker.
"There were no casualties or damage, according to initial reports. Emergency services are on the scene."
Russia`s defence ministry also said air defences destroyed a drone over Lyubertsy district around 4:30 am (0130 GMT) and blamed Kyiv for the attempted attack.
Air traffic at Moscow`s Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports was suspended, the state-run TASS news agency reported earlier, citing the aviation service.
Two other drones were destroyed by air defences over the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine, Russia`s defence ministry said on Telegram.
It did not say whether there had been damage or casualties.
The capital and other Russian regions have been targeted by a barrage of Ukrainian drone attacks in recent days after Kyiv vowed earlier this summer to "return" the conflict to Russia.
