The swarm of strikes on Putin’s capital came as President Volodymyr Zelensky’s negotiators are due to start talks with Donald Trump’s team in Saudi Arabia today.

At least one person has been killed and three others injured in the “massive” attack, Russian officials claim.

Drones were shot down over Kursk, Belgorod, Bryansk and Voronezh on the border with Ukraine.

Other areas deeper inside Russia were also hit including Kaluga, Lipetsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Oryol and Ryazan.

Kremlin loyalist and Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said: “The most massive attack of enemy UAVs on Moscow has been repelled.

“Hundreds of combat drones have been shot down at various points.”

Russian officials described it as a “mass attack” and said it was the first major strike on the capital since November.

One drone blast exploded in Kurchatov, a town close to the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.

Elsewhere, four main airports in the capital were also disrupted.

Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukova and Zhukovsky all faced dozens of arrival diversions and delayed takeoffs due to the raging fires and smoke flying overhead.
