Russia Says Over 150 Drones Downed Near Moscow
Moscow's mayor reported that more than 150 drones have been intercepted while approaching the Russian capital, with emergency crews responding to debris sites.
More than 150 drones have been shot down while approaching Moscow, according to Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, as cited by Russian state news agency TASS.
Sobyanin said first responders were working in areas where fragments from the downed drones had fallen, though the report did not specify the exact locations, timeframe, or extent of any damage caused.
TASS, citing the mayor's statement, did not provide further details on casualties or property damage resulting from the incidents. The report also did not indicate the origin of the drones or attribute responsibility for launching them.
The claims could not be independently verified. Russian officials have periodically reported drone incidents near Moscow and other regions since the start of the conflict with Ukraine, though the scale and details of such reports vary and are typically difficult to confirm through independent sources.
Further details on the timing of the interceptions and the response operations were not immediately available.
