Moscow Mayor Sobyanin confirmed a new drone attack on the Russian capital of Moscow this Friday (11). According to him, there were no victims and the unmanned vehicle was eliminated by the country’s air defense.
He reported that the wreckage of the drone landed in the embankment area of the Karamyshevskaya region, on the banks of the Moscow River. Witnesses reported loud explosions in the area of this landfill due to the downed drone.
Sobyanin claims that no one was hurt and there was no serious damage caused by the drone.
The Russian Ministry of Defense also commented on the incident and blamed Ukraine for the attack, classifying it as a “terrorist attack”.
“Today, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack with an unmanned aerial vehicle on an installation in Moscow was thwarted. The unmanned aerial vehicle was suppressed through electronic warfare and crashed in a forested area in the west of the city from Moscow,” reads the statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense.
During the morning, airspace over the capital’s Vnukovo airport was closed, with flight departures and arrivals being delayed. Russian emergency services said the disruption to services was caused by the drone incident.
