Nov 10 (Reuters) - Ukraine launched at least 17 drones targeting Moscow early on Sunday, forcing the temporarily closure of two of the capital's airports, Russian officials said.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defense systems intercepted 70 Ukrainian drones over six regions, including 34 over the Moscow region.

Russia overnight launched a “record” 145 drones at Ukrainian territory, according to Ukraine’s air force, 62 of which were shot down. A further 67 were “lost,” the air force said, a likely reference to electronic jamming that caused the drones to veer off course.
