Russia claims it has downed three Ukranian drones after an attempted terrorist attack briefly shut the Moscow international airport.

The defence ministry in its statement said one of the drones was shot down on the city's outskirts while two others were suppressed by electronic warfare and crashed into an office complex.

The attack reported on 30 July is the latest in a series of recent drone assaults including one on the Kremlin and Russian towns near the border with Ukraine that Moscow has blamed on Kyiv.
