Ukraine said it hit a drone command unit in the Kursk region, amid reports of fresh attempts to cross into Russia. Sunday's attack on the unit was located near the Russian village of Tyotkino, according to the Ukrainian general staff.

According to Sergei Sobyanin, Moscow’s Mayor, at least 19 Ukrainian drones were destroyed by Russian air defence before they reached the capital city “from different locations”.

Russian air defences downed a swarm of Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow for the second consecutive night, forcing airport closures but causing no reported casualties.
