Russian air defenses on Friday downed a Ukrainian drone as it flew towards an unspecified target in Moscow, the defense ministry said, the latest in a flurry of drone attacks on the Russian capital, APA reports citing Reuters.
"... an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on a facility in Moscow was thwarted," the ministry said in a statement, adding the drone was jammed and crashed in a forest west of Moscow.
"There are no casualties and no damage," it said.
Russia said on Thursday that it had downed 13 Ukrainian drones seeking to attack Moscow and also the largest city in Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
