Several flights were halted at Moscow airport following a drone attack, including the flight carrying DMK’s Kanimozhi-led all-party delegation. Russia and Ukraine have deployed drones against one another regularly since Russia launched its military offensive on Ukraine over three years ago, but Moscow has rarely been targeted. Drone attacks have intensified in recent days.
Russia’s defence ministry said that it intercepted and destroyed 112 Ukrainian drones in a third night of attacks.
Since Thursday evening, “air defence systems destroyed and intercepted 112 Ukrainian drones”, including 24 that were headed toward the capital, the ministry said.
Flight services in Moscow and several other regions were disrupted for more than three hours at night. The flight carrying DMK’s Kanimozhi and five other ministers, an all-party delegation, taking India’s message on Operation Sindoor and anti-terrorism to the world, was also delayed for a brief period.
Last night, Kanimozhi shared a picture of her delegation, including Samajwadi Party MP Rajeev Rai, BJP MP Brijesh Chowta, AAP MP Dr Ashok Kumar Mittal, Former Diplomat Manjeev Puri, and RJD MP Premchand Gupta. She captioned the picture: “Leaving with the members of the delegation to Moscow.”
