The mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin, said there was “no major damage” following an attempted Ukrainian drone strike on Monday morning. The drones crashed into non-residential buildings after the military suppressed them using electronic warfare means.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a brief statement that it had prevented an “attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using two unmanned aerial vehicles” on Monday morning.
Several drone fragments were found on Komsomolsky Prospekt in downtown Moscow, not far from the Defense Ministry’s main headquarters, a source in the emergency services told TASS news agency.
The department of transportation said that traffic in the area was partially restricted, advising residents to plan detour routes. There were no reports of casualties or injuries, but emergency services are working at the scene, with videos circulating online showing multiple police cars and ambulances.
The second drone apparently hit a high-rise building in southern Moscow, with the department of transport confirming partial closure and traffic reroutes on the Likhachev avenue.
