Ukraine’s kamikaze drone strike on Putin sparks massive inferno
Ukraine executed a significant kamikaze drone strike on Putin, resulting in a massive fire-a substantial escalation in the heaviest assault witnessed in months.
Ukraine has launched a major kamikaze drone attack on Russia in their heaviest onslaught for months.
Three of Moscow’s international airports - Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky - were closed with flights suspended or cancelled due to the attack.
The city’s mayor Sergei Sobyanin complained of a ’mass attack’ on the Russian capital.
The attacks come one day after the heaviest strikes on Kyiv by Putin kamikaze drones since the start of the war 22 months ago - when 71 out of 75 Iranian-made Shahed UAVs were downed by Ukrainian air defences.
Russia was forced to shoot down 11 drones overnight and another nine early this morning.
Later in the morning a new drone swarm was reported in Tula, a region where Putin crony and former bodyguard Alexei Dyumin is governor, and once saved the dictator from being savaged by a brown bear.
’Loud explosions’ were reported over the city. ’It flew right over us,’ said one local amid unconfirmed reports of two kamikaze drones being shot down.
And a mysterious fire ignited an elite Mosfilmovskaya Street in Moscow, blocking all traffic according to state media reports.
’The circumstances of the incident and information about the victims are being clarified,’ reported Astra media outlet which suggested an ’electrical’ inferno.
In the Moscow region, surrounding the capital, five drones were reportedly shot down in Naro-Fominsk, Odintsovo, Ramensky and Podolsk urban districts.
In three cases there was damage to buildings on the ground. It was not immediately clear if any of the drones had hit strategic targets.
More drones were downed in Kaluga, Bryansk and Smolensk regions as Ukraine responded to the onslaught on Kyiv a day earlier.
Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the main target was Moscow. ’A mass drone attack was attempted overnight,’ he said.
Elsewhere power was cut in the Russian-occupied Donetsk People’s Republic after an apparent Ukrainian strike on the region’s power grid.
Putin-appointed occupation leader Denis Pushilin said: ’At night, the enemy tried to damage the region’s energy system.
’Unfortunately, due to the massiveness of the attacks, not everything was shot down.’
Parts of Donetsk city and Makeevka plus almost all of Mariupol were without power.
The Russian attack in Kyiv on Saturday was the most intense of the war.
Serhiy Popko, head of the capital city’s administration, called it ’the most massive air attack by drones on Kyiv’.
’Our soldiers shot down most of the drones. Unfortunately, not all,’ said Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
’But we continue to work to strengthen our air defence and shoot down more.’
Overnight another nine Iranian drones were launched by Russia on Ukraine.
Eight were reportedly shot down.
