Russia says it has shot down two Ukrainian drones heading towards Moscow

In the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, Russian authorities said they shot down two Ukrainian drones heading towards the country’s capital, Moscow. One drone was shot down in the Domodedovo area south of the city and the other near a highway west of Moscow.
