Russia announced flights were restricted at Moscow's airports after the drone attack, moreover, one district train network was also suspended.

The attack is one of the biggest since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

This comes hours ahead of a crunch meeting between representatives from the US and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia, which is willing to find a solution and reach a ceasefire to end over three years of war.
