According to emergency services in Russia, on July 4, the Russian air defense repelled an attack by Ukrainian drones.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, five Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles attempted to strike targets in the Moscow region and New Moscow, but were destroyed.
Additionally, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin stated on his Telegram channel that on Tuesday, air defense forces thwarted attacks by Ukrainian drones in New Moscow and the Moscow region.
“Today, there was another attempt to attack Ukrainian drones in New Moscow and the Moscow region. At the moment, the attacks have been repelled by air defense forces, and all detected UAVs have been eliminated,” Sobyanin wrote.
According to the Mayor of Moscow, there are no casualties or injuries.
As a result, restrictions were imposed on the arrival and departure of aircraft at Vnukovo Airport. After three hours, the airport resumed normal operations.
According to the Ministry of Defense, four drones over New Moscow were destroyed by air defense systems, and one drone was suppressed using electronic warfare means.
However, according to TASS, one drone fell on the territory of a military facility in the Moscow region’s Kubinka, and debris from another drone ignited a utility building in the Moscow region.
According to Russian authorities, the Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were sent by the Ukrainian army, but Ukrainian authorities have not yet confirmed or denied the attack.
