Drone "war" between Ukraine and Russia, two dead in Kiev

Drone "war" between Ukraine and Russia, two dead in Kiev

Russia accused Ukraine of launching a major drone strike on Russian soil since it occupied Moscow 18 months ago, followed by a Russian strike in Kiev that Ukrainian officials said killed two people.

The drones struck an airport in Russia's western Pskov region near the border with Estonia and Latvia and ignited a massive fire. More drones were shot down over Oryol, Bryansk, Ryazan, Kaluga and the Moscow region surrounding the Russian capital, according to the Defense Ministry.

Pskov regional governor Mikhail Vedernikov ordered all flights to and from the airport in the regional capital of the same name to be canceled on Wednesday so that the damage could be assessed during the day.
