Air defense forces shot down three more drones heading toward Moscow, bringing the total number destroyed on that approach to nine, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced on his Telegram channel.
The mayor said air defense systems continue to work to repel drone attacks on the approaches to the city. Sobyanin regularly posts operational updates on the number of drones shot down in an effort to keep the capital's residents informed about the security situation.
Drone attacks on Moscow and the Moscow region have been recorded multiple times during recent phases of the conflict with Ukraine, with Russian authorities typically reporting the successful interception of most aircraft by air defense systems.
Details about the possible consequences of the attack, including any damage or casualties, were not provided in the mayor's statement. Emergency services typically conduct on-site checks when debris from downed drones falls on city or regional territory.
Authorities continue to strengthen security measures around the capital amid ongoing drone incidents, with operational updates on new attacks expected as information arrives from air defense systems.
