Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow and the surrounding region around 7:00 a.m. local time on Friday, according to Russian media reports.

Ukraine attacked Moscow with drones overnight the morning after Vladimir Putin rejected a temporary ceasefire mediated by the US. Russian air defences repelled four drones which were flying towards the capital, according to Sergei Sobyanin, the city’s mayor. Mr Sobyanin said there was little damage and no casualties.

Ukraine on Tuesday launched its biggest ever drone attack on Moscow and the surrounding region, killing at least three employees of a meat warehouse, injuring 17 others and causing a short shutdown at the Russian capital's four airports,
