Ukraine targeted Moscow with at least 11 drones on Wednesday, one of the biggest such attacks on the Russian capital since the war began.
Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it shot down a total of 45 drones over the country on Wednesday, with 11 intercepted over the Moscow region, 23 over Bryansk, six in Belgorod, three in Kaluga and two in Kursk.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said some of the drones were destroyed over the city Podlsk, just 24 miles south of the Kremlin headquarters.
“This is one of the largest attempts to attack Moscow using drones ever,” Sobyanin said on Telegram.
“The layered defense of Moscow that was created made it possible to successfully repel all the attacks from the enemy UAVs.”
Russian outlets aired unverified footage of several drones soaring overhead above Moscow before they were shot down by the Kremlin’s air defense system.
Officials in the regions where the drones were spotted said no deaths or serious damage had been reported as a result of the drone strike.
The attack was reminiscent of the May 2023 assault where eight drones were shot over Moscow in what Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed as Kyiv’s attempt to scare and provoke the Kremlin.
Since the start of the year, Ukraine has stepped up its drone warfare against Russia, attacking oil refineries and airfields to slow the enemy invasion. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to +++++relevant+++++ and related stories:
