Russia reported a series of drone attacks on its territory on Saturday, August 26, that killed at least one in a region bordering Ukraine and again forced the temporary closure of three major airports serving the capital Moscow.
Moscow’s Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports suspended flights for couple of hours, TASS news agency said. He said six were wounded in Ukraine’s shelling of the village of Urazovo, where 16 houses were damaged. Bryansk regional Governor Alexander Bogomaz said Ukraine’s forces had shelled the village of Kirillovka near the border, damaging four homes.
