Ukraine's military said on Tuesday its air force had struck a Russian military command post in Russia's Kursk region the previous day.

"The facility sustained significant damage, leading to substantial casualties among enemy personnel," the general staff said on Telegram.

Reuters could not independently verify the statement, according to Reuters.

Ukraine's military has reported numerous strikes on Russian military and energy facilities in recent weeks.

Ukrainian forces have been battling Russian troops in the Kursk region since Ukraine mounted a cross border operation there last year.

Russia's defense ministry and the mayor of Moscow said it had downed 142 drones overnight, including 27 over the Moscow region.

The drones were reportedly shot down over a number of regions in the European part of Russia, as well as over the Black Sea, Reuters said.

The latest attacks included four drones headed toward the Russian capital, which were downed on Sunday morning, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram around 1000 local time (0700 GMT).

According to Russia's aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia, four major airports serving Moscow - Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovskiy - were affected, resulting in 134 flights being redirected.

By 1000 Moscow time, only two airports remained closed to air traffic - Vnukovo in the Moscow region and Grabtsevo in the Kaluga region.
