The thwarted attack caused no casualties or damage, Sergey Sobyanin said citing preliminary reports
Russian air defense forces have stopped an attempted drone attack on Moscow, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported on social media on Tuesday.
According to the official, the aircraft was downed in the Odintsovo municipality, located right on the western border of the capital city area. Sobyanin said rescuers were deployed to the crash site. Preliminary reports said the debris caused no damage or casualties on the ground, he stressed.
A drone attack targeting Moscow was previously reported by the mayor last Thursday morning, when Sobyanin said two UAVs were intercepted over the Naro-Fominsk District.
The Defense Ministry said it had prevented an attempted “terrorist attack” by Kiev, involving a fixed-wing drone.
