A wave of drones targeted Moscow and the surrounding region overnight on July 20, causing explosions in the city of Zelenograd and temporarily shutting down the Russian capital’s airports, according to Russian media and officials.

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin claimed that Russian air defenses shot down at least 16 drones headed toward the city.

All major Moscow airports—Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky—temporarily suspended operations due to the drone attack, Russian state media reported.

One drone reportedly struck a residential building in Zelenograd, a city northwest of central Moscow, according to the Russian Telegram channel Astra. Residents said windows were blown out in several apartments.

In a separate incident nearby, debris from another downed drone allegedly caused two cars to catch fire in a residential courtyard, Astra reported.

Russia has blamed Ukraine for previous drone attacks on Moscow, though Kyiv typically does not comment on strikes inside Russian territory.
