Russian air defenses shot down 10 drones over Moscow and its outskirts, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in a Telegram post early Wednesday morning.
“The echeloned defense of Moscow against enemy UAVs made it possible to repel all attacks. This was one of the largest attempts to attack Moscow with the help of drones of all time,” Sobyanin added.
Overall, 45 drones attacked different regions of Russia overnight, with 11 shot down over the Moscow region, 23 destroyed over the Bryansk region, six over Belgorod, three over the Kaluga region and two over Kursk, Russia’s defense ministry said in a statement, blaming Ukraine.
