Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin confirmed on Tuesday that Ukraine has made another attempt to attack Moscow and the Moscow Region with drones, announcing that the attacks were repelled by Russian air defense forces.

Earlier in the day, emergency services told Sputnik that two drones were downed in the Russian capital near the village of Valuyevo, with no casualties or damage.

Another drone was shot down near Kubinka in the Moscow Region, Sputnik reported.

Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency, Rosaviatsiya, announced restrictions on arrivals and departures at Vnukovo Airport until 05:00 GMT. The Russian news agency cited a source as saying that 14 flights were redirected from Vnukovo Airport to other airports.

Rosaviatsiya pointed out that other airports in Moscow and the Moscow Region are operating as usual.

"Today, another attempt was made by Ukrainian drones to attack New Moscow [a Moscow district] and the Moscow Region. At the moment, the attacks have been repelled by air defense forces, all detected UAVs have been eliminated," Sobyanin wrote on Telegram.

He noted that no human casualties were recorded after the drone attack, adding that emergency services are working at the scene of the incident.

Later, emergency services told Sputnik that two additional drones have been shot down by air defense systems in the Russian capital, with no casualties reported.

"Two more UAVs were shot down by air defense systems in New Moscow [a Moscow district] near the village of Krivosheevo, there were no casualties," the services said.

On its part, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that "an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack by five drones on targets in Moscow region and New Moscow has been foiled this morning."

"Four Ukrainian UAVs on the territory of New Moscow were shot down by air defence forces," the ministry confirmed on its Telegram channel, adding that "another UAV was suppressed by electronic warfare and crashed on the territory of Odintsovo district, Moscow region."

Elsewhere, it indicated that "there were no casualties or damage as a result of the foiled terrorist attack."

In response, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova slammed Kiev's attempt to attack the area where civilian infrastructure facilities are located, including an airport, as another act of terrorism.

"An attempt by the Kiev regime to attack the area where civilian infrastructure facilities are located, including an airport, which, by the way, also receives foreign flights, is another act of terrorism," Zakharova wrote on Telegram.

"Considering that [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy commits these terrorist attacks with purchased weapons supplied by the West or with Western funds, then this is international terrorism," she indicated.
