Russia downed 34 Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow overnight, the city's mayor said Sunday, marking the largest attack on the capital since Russia began its offensive in Ukraine in 2022.

The attack forced the temporary closure of three Moscow airports, injured a 52-year-old woman, and set two homes on fire in the village of Stanovoye in the Moscow region, officials reported.

An explosion rocked the renowned Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, Moscow region, leaving 115 victims and several others injured, including five children. The tragedy unfolded during a concert, shattering the evening's festivities and sending shockwaves throughout the region.

Two drones were shot down near a military base in the Moscow region early on Wednesday, without causing damage or victims, the regional governor said.

Russia launched a pre-dawn air raid on Ukraine's capital on May 30, killing at least one person and sending Kiev's residents again scrambling into shelters to escape a relentless wave of daylight and nighttime bombardments, while Moscow authorities said the Russian capital was attacked by drones.
