Ukrainian officials said on September 10 that a widespread Russian drone-and-missile attack had targeted Kyiv and critical infrastructure in Ukraine's northeast in addition to other regions, while Russian officials said an overnight swarm of attack drones from Ukraine killed a woman near the capital and grounded flights at three Moscow airports.
Moscow region Governor Andrei Vorobyov said a 46-year-old woman was killed and four others injured in the town of Ramenskoye when drones struck multistory buildings in the Moscow region.
Dozens of residents were evacuated from a heavily damaged apartment block, officials said.

A few hours later the airports were said to be operating normally.
The Ukrainian Air Force, meanwhile, said Russia attacked overnight with two missiles and at least 46 drones. It said it had shot down 38 of the drones.
The military administration in the Ukrainian capital said its air defenses had shot down all of the UAVs headed for Kyiv after an air alert that began around 4 a.m. local time and lasted about two hours.
Kyiv officials said there had been no damage in the city.
In Ukraine's northwestern Sumy region, the military administration said Russian forces had attacked critical infrastructure facilities but said air defenses had blunted the attack.
RFE/RL could not immediately verify the claims by either side.
A major feature of Moscow's offensive since the early months of its 36-month-old full-scale invasion, Russian missile and rocket attacks on population centers and power and other infrastructure throughout the country have been increasingly countered with cross-border drone attacks by Ukraine.
