The swarm of strikes on Putin’s capital came as President Volodymyr Zelensky’s negotiators are due to start talks with Donald Trump’s team in Saudi Arabia today.

At least one person has been killed and three others injured in the “massive” attack, Russian officials claim.

Drones were shot down over Kursk, Belgorod, Bryansk and Voronezh on the border with Ukraine.

Other areas deeper inside Russia were also hit including Kaluga, Lipetsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Oryol and Ryazan.

Kremlin loyalist and Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said: “The most massive attack of enemy UAVs on Moscow has been repelled.

“Hundreds of combat drones have been shot down at various points.”

Russian officials described it as a “mass attack” and said it was the first major strike on the capital since November.

One drone blast exploded in Kurchatov, a town close to the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.

Kursk was one of the main targets for the drones outside of Moscow after intense battlefield fighting in recent days.

Around 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers are facing complete encirclement having been left trapped and fighting blind in the region.

Kyiv has frantically fought to maintain its position in occupied Kursk to serve as leverage for potential peace talks.

Embattled troops are now facing an assault from a new wave of more advanced Russian drones and kamikaze assaults by North Korean storm brigades.

Ukraine is facing an advantage that Russia has long endured over its enemy – sheer manpower and endless waves for the meat grinder.

Some sources have blamed the advances over the last few days on the suspension of US intelligence by Donald Trump.

Trump’s team argue they are trying to stop the war – insisting they trying to “take a step back” as they play peacemaker.

Elsewhere, four main airports in the capital were also disrupted overnight due to the drone strikes.

Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukova and Zhukovsky all faced dozens of arrival diversions and delayed takeoffs due to the raging fires and smoke flying overhead.
