At least four kamikaze drones were shot down by air defences in Moscow in the early hours of this morning.

Russia has accused Ukraine of launching an attack on an administrative building at the Kubinka military air base, some 48 miles southwest of the Kremlin.

A fifth drone was jammed, crashing into the Odintsovo district, the defence ministry said.

Russian news agencies reported that two drones were intercepted near a village 19 miles southwest of the Kremlin.

One drone was also detected in the neighbouring Kaluga region.

Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said Ukraine launched another drone attack on the Russian capital and its region, temporarily disrupting flight operations at the Vnukovo airport.

‘At this moment, the attacks have been repelled by air defence forces,’ Sobyanin said on his Telegram messaging channel.

‘All detected drones have been eliminated.’

There were no casualties or injured reported, Sobyanin added.
