Russia has accused Ukraine of launching a large-scale overnight drone attack on Moscow and its surrounding areas, just hours before crucial peace discussions between Ukraine and the United States.
At least one person, reportedly a 38-year-old car park security guard, was killed.
BBC’s Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg reported this may be Ukraine’s most significant drone assault on Moscow to date.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that air defenses intercepted 73 drones targeting the city, while four airports temporarily suspended operations.
The attack precedes high-level talks in Saudi Arabia between US and Ukrainian officials on ending the war, as well as a meeting in Paris where military leaders from around 30 nations will discuss forming a "coalition of the willing."
