Two combat drones attempting to fly over Moscow on Tuesday evening were shot down by anti-aircraft fire, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.
Combat drones again appeared over the capital of Russia. The official gave the information via Telegram. The Russian news agency TASS wrote that the local Ministry of National Defense confirmed these reports.
“The Russian Defense Ministry reported a failed attempt by Kiev to attack targets in the Moscow region with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), highlighting that two drones were shot down by air defense systems,” the Russian news agency said.
The statement said that an attempt by the “Kiev regime” to carry out a “terrorist attack” on the territory of the Moscow region had stopped. Let us not forget that as part of the war that started it, the Russian side regularly attacks numerous Ukrainian cities, including the use of drones, and the targets of attacks are not only military facilities and critical infrastructure, but also residential buildings.
Drones over Moscow
Many such reactions have come from Kiev, including at least some about the Russian capital. For example, on July 30, Russia’s Defense Ministry announced it had shot down three Ukrainian drones attempting to carry out a “terrorist attack” on Moscow.
No one was injured and the facade of two office buildings in Moscow City’s business district was only slightly damaged, the mayor of the Russian capital Sergei Sobyanin said.
The attack took place in an area a few kilometers from the Kremlin, which is famous for its modern skyscrapers, Reuters points out.
According to the agency, the fact that in recent months hostile drones have begun to reach the heart of the Russian capital, even if they do not cause serious damage, is inconvenient for the authorities, who assure the public that Russia is in full control of what the Kremlin calls to a “special military operation” against Ukraine.
