Flight delays came amid another attempt by Kyiv to attack Moscow with a drone. According to the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, the Ukrainian drone was shot down air defense systems near Lyubertsy.

On the morning of August 31, Russian air defense systems destroyed a drone flying in the direction of Moscow in the Voskresensky district.

On the night of August 30, seven regions of Russia were subjected to a mass attack by drones. In particular, one drone was destroyed in the Moscow region, Sobyanin said. The drone was shot down in the Ruza district. There were no casualties or damage. On August 28, a drone flying towards Moscow was destroyed in the Lyubertsy region. As a result, no one was hurt either.

Earlier, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian air defense systems are working effectively against drone attacks. He urged to remember that the activity on the Ukrainian side is aimed at residential buildings and facilities, so it is not always possible to “avoid some minor damage.”
