MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian air defences shot down four Ukrainian drones en route to Moscow on Tuesday, the city’s mayor said.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said emergency services were working at the scene of the intercepted drones, downed over a period of about three hours.

Moscow’s two largest airports, Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo, stopped all air traffic for a time, before later reopening, Russia’s aviation watchdog said.
