Ukraine war: Russia cancels military festival in Moscow

Russia has announced the cancellation of its military festival in Moscow, an event that had only been suspended once before, due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

At the same time, the Russian military claimed to have shot down 180 Ukrainian drones over Moscow during the night from Monday to Tuesday. Reports indicate that at least 620 drones were launched toward the capital.

The mayor of Moscow stated that this drone attack resulted in three injuries and led to a brief suspension of airspace around the city. The Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries sustained some minor damage during the incident.
