Russia prevented news today Ukraine night drone attack in the Moscow region, the mayor of the Russian capital said, adding that there were no casualties or damage.
Today “air defense forces of Lyubertsy (east of Moscow) prevented another attempt to send a drone” against Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin wrote in Telegram. “There are no injuries or damage, according to initial information,” he added.
Meanwhile, Moscow’s Vnukovo airport imposed flight restrictions for a short time this morning due to the attempted attack.
Moreover, in the Kursk region, on the border with Ukraine, governor Roman Starovoit pointed out that “two Ukrainian drones” targeted the city of Kurchatov, causing damage to a government building and an apartment building, without giving any other details.
There is a nuclear power plant in Kurchatov.
Another Ukrainian drone was shot down last Thursday night in the Bryansk region, which also borders Ukraine, again with no casualties or damage, according to local governor Alexander Bogomaz.
Ukrainian drone attacks against Russian territory and the Crimean peninsula, which Moscow annexed in 2014, have increased in recent weeks.
In this context, Sobyanin said yesterday that he wants to expand and strengthen Moscow’s anti-aircraft defense, due to the increase in Ukrainian drone attacks.
“This year we have done a lot to protect Moscow from drones and attempted terrorist acts”Sobyanin told representatives of municipal services and companies, according to Russian news agency Interfax.
New air defense systems have been installed in recent weeks, sometimes on a daily basis, he added.
