> Russian authorities said dozens of Ukrainian drones were intercepted while approaching Moscow on Sept. 20, as an overnight attack affected multiple Russian regions. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin later put the number downed near the capital at 76. Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports temporarily restricted operations over flight-safety concerns. The Kyiv Independent could not immediately verify the claims.
