Russia’s air defense units intercepted at least one drone approaching Moscow, the capital’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, shared on the Telegram messaging platform. “According to preliminary information, there was no damage or casualties where debris fell in the Ramensky district of the Moscow region,” he stated.
In the Lipetsk region, located in southwestern Russia, drone debris triggered several short-lived fires. The region’s governor also confirmed via Telegram that no injuries were reported.
Governors of Bryansk and Oryol, both situated in western Russia, reported that air defense units successfully destroyed multiple drones in their respective regions.
