Drone Raid On Moscow Forces Russian Air Defenses To Respond

Drone Raid On Moscow Forces Russian Air Defenses To Respond

According to Sergey Sobyanin, the mayor of Moscow, at least 19 hostile UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), or drones, were downed en route to the Russian capital. Sobyanin said, “According to preliminary information, there are no serious injuries or casualties,” the mayor stated, adding that emergency services are working at the crash sites and “all necessary measures are being taken.”

The first five drones were intercepted by 1:16 am, Sobyanin said. Another drone was downed about 30 minutes later, followed by three more shortly before 2 am, all en route to the capital, according to a report by RT. 

A Telegram report by SObyanin claimed that Moscow has successfully repelled the attack.

At 2:17 am, Sobyanin reported that the air defense “destroyed ten more drones flying to Moscow from different directions,” raising the total to at least 19 intercepted UAVs.

One of the UAVs fell near Kashirskoe Highway in the south of the city, according to Sobyanin.

While the official shared few details, photos published by TASS news agency indicated that the drone hit the top floor of a residential high-rise, shattering several windows and damaging the storefront of a flower shop.

Moscow’s Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky international airports temporarily suspended operations in response to the attack.

This week, Russia will be celebrating the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War. President Vladimir Putin had ordered a three-day unilateral ceasefire to coincide with the commemorations, but Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky refused to reciprocate, saying Kiev would accept nothing short of an unconditional 30-day truce. –RT

Zelensky Openly Threatens A “Terrorist Attack”

Zelensky and other officials in Kiev have issued veiled threats that they intend to target the military parade being held in Moscow on May 9th, which will be attended by foreign dignitaries. Russia has denounced the rhetoric as evidence of Ukraine using terrorist tactics.

Just a few days ago, Moscow fought off a drone attack. That time, Ukraine sent more than 100 UAVs to the city.
