Ukrainian Drone Strikes Disrupt Moscow Ahead of Major Military Parade

A wave of Ukrainian drone attacks targeted Moscow for the second consecutive night, forcing the temporary closure of four major airports and disrupting flight operations. Russian officials claim their air defense systems intercepted dozens of drones, but the attacks highlight Ukraine's increasing ability to strike deep into Russian territory. The incidents come as Moscow prepares for a high-profile military parade expected to be attended by international leaders, including China's Xi Jinping. Meanwhile, Russia continues its own strikes, hitting a large market in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and both sides report intensified military activity and prisoner exchanges. The escalation underscores the ongoing volatility and reach of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
