US Sanctions Iran For Supplying Russia With Missiles; Moscow Under Attack
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
KYIV/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – Russia has come under a wave of suspected Ukrainian drones, including its capital, Moscow, killing one woman, injuring six other people, and forcing the temporary closure of three of the capital’s airports, officials said.
The mass assault on Russia, which was believed to be one of the most significant drone attacks since the start of its war with Ukraine, came as the United States announced more sanctions on Iran for supplying Moscow with ballistic missiles used in its offensive against Ukraine.
On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said cooperation between Moscow and Tehran threatens broader European security.
Blinken revealed that Washington had privately warned Iran that providing ballistic missiles to Russia would “constitute a dramatic escalation.”
He said the new sanctions would be imposed later Tuesday.
“Russia has now received shipments with these ballistic missiles and will likely use them within weeks in Ukraine, against Ukraine,” Blinken added, citing “intelligence” that he stressed has been shared with U.S. allies and partners worldwide.
He spoke at a news conference in London before visiting Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, alongside Britain’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy. They met after Russian officials said they shot down 144 Ukrainian drones around Russia in a wave of attacks that killed one woman, set residential buildings on fire, and grounded flights in Moscow.
MOSCOW GOVERNOR
The governor of Moscow, Andrei Vorobyov, said several flats in two high-rise apartment buildings in Ramenskoye in the Moscow region were set on fire.
Vorobyov explained that a 46-year-old woman died and three people were injured in Ramenskoye, while 43 people were evacuated to temporary accommodation centers. There were also reports of more injuries.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the strike showed the need for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine, saying: “We must continue the military operation to protect ourselves from such displays of this regime.”
Russia’s defense ministry said that of the 144 drones its air defenses intercepted, half were in the western border region of Bryansk, 20 were in Moscow, and 14 were over the Kursk region.
State media reported that the strikes shut down four airports in Moscow, and more than 30 domestic and international flights that serve the Russian capital were suspended before most continued operations later in the day.
However, Moscow made clear it would continue its war against Ukraine and said it had captured at least three villages in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.
The defense ministry also said it had “liberated” the town of Krasnohorivka, also in Donetsk.
