A massive drone strike has rattled Moscow and its suburbs, injuring a woman and temporarily halting traffic at some of Russia’s busiest airports.

Nov 10 (Reuters) - Ukraine launched at least 17 drones targeting Moscow early on Sunday, forcing the temporarily closure of two of the capital's airports, Russian officials said.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defense systems intercpted 70 Ukrainian drones over six regions, including 34 over the Moscow region.

Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on Moscow overnight, the largest on the Russian capital since the Russian invasion more than two years ago, forcing three airports to divert traffic and causing casualties.

Moscow has been hit by the biggest drone strike since the invasion of Ukraine. At least 34 drones attacked the Russian capital on Sunday, forcing flights to be diverted from three of the city's major airports and injuring at least five people.

Russia and Ukraine both launched record drone attacks on each other overnight, as the Kremlin said it saw "positive signals" from US president-elect Donald Trump over his desire to strike a deal to end the conflict.
