A HUGE Ukrainian drone strike has forced Russia to shut all four of its major airports in a dramatic show of force against Moscow.

During the second night of aerial attacks on the capital, the aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia from Russia confirmed the closure of airports as a safety measure. They were reopened after several hours had passed.

Moscow’s mayor Sergei Sobyanin said at least 19 Ukrainian drones were destroyed before reaching the city “from different directions.”

He added: “Some of the debris had landed on one of the key highways into the city,” but claimed there were no casualties.

The assault on the city caused widespread shock, with unverified reports emerging from Russian military bloggers suggesting that blasts had shattered apartment windows in southern Moscow.
