Russian military claims it prevented Ukrainian attack on Moscow by shooting down four drones
Senior foreign affairs correspondent Greg Palkot reports 80% of all Ukrainians have a relative or friend killed as the result of the war on'America's Newsroom.' The Russian military claimed Tuesday that it shot down several Ukrainian drones that were headed for the capital city of Moscow, an attack that also prompted officials to briefly close one of the city's airports. The Russian Defense Ministry said air defenses on the outskirts of Moscow shot down four of five drones heading toward the capital, adding that the fifth was jammed by electronic means. Ukrainian authorities, who usually do not comment on attacks inside Russia's proper territory, have not claimed responsibility. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said no one was harmed in the attack and no buildings were damaged.
