CNN- Russia said it downed 337 Ukrainian drones launched at its territory overnight, hours ahead of critical talks between officials from Washington and Kyiv. Russia's defense ministry said 91 of those drones targeted the Moscow region. If confirmed, the aerial attacks would represent one of the largest on Russia since its invasion of Ukraine. A Russian official said at least two people were killed and six wounded in the Moscow region. Video geolocated by CNN shows an explosion at an apartment building in the southern Moscow region. Two Moscow airports were closed for safety reasons and several flights to the Russian capital were redirected to other airports, according to state-run news agency TASS. The reported attacks happened before talks got underway between US and Ukrainian delegations in Saudi Arabia. Ahead of the meeting, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US wanted to hear what concessions Ukraine would be willing to make in negotiations to end the war with Russia, and that the talks could determine whether Washington resumes providing military aid and full intelligence sharing with Kyiv.
