Russian air defense forces shot down two drones trying to infiltrate Moscow
Air defense forces shot down two drones on the outskirts of Moscow as they attempted to fly into the capital, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced.
"There were two attack drones that attempted to fly into the city. Both were shot down by air defense. One was shot down in the Domodedovo area, the second in the Minsk highway area," he wrote on his personal Telegram channel.
There is no information about casualties due to falling UAV debris, emergency services are working at the scene, Mr. Sobyanin added.
This is not the first time that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have attempted to use UAVs to attack the Russian capital. On August 6, the Ministry of Defense reported that the air defense system in the Podolsky district outside Moscow destroyed one Ukrainian drone. In the early morning of August 1, the Kiev regime tried to attack targets in Moscow and the Moscow region with three drones. Two of them were shot down by air defense systems in the Odintsovo and Naro-Fominsk districts, and one was suppressed by electronic warfare and crashed into a tower in Moscow City.
