Russia downs 50 drones headed for Moscow

 Russian air defenses shot down 50 Ukrainian drones flying toward Moscow on Thursday, according to the city's Mayor Sergey Sobyanin.

The last attack occurred during the afternoon hours, Sobyanin wrote on Telegram. Emergency services were activated to deal with the situation due to the danger posed by debris, he added.

Previously, Russia threatened to directly target Kiev and Ukrainian decision-making centers if the war-torn country attempted to disrupt Victory Day Parade celebrations on May 9 in Moscow. Furthermore, Russia's Foreign Ministry urged foreign nationals and diplomats to leave the Ukrainian capital ahead of possible retaliation against the city.
