At least three drones have reportedly been intercepted en route towards the Russian capital
Moscow was targeted in an attempted drone strike on Tuesday morning, according to an emergency services source cited by TASS news agency. Two incoming UAVs were downed on the outskirts of the city, while another was allegedly intercepted in the Kaluga region, southwest of the Russian capital.
“According to preliminary data, three drones were heading towards Moscow… Two were suppressed by radio electronic warfare means in New Moscow, and one in the Kaluga region,” the source told TASS.
There were no immediate reports of any casualties or damage on the ground. The debris of the two drones intercepted in the outskirts of Moscow fell in the open field near the Valuevo settlement around 5 kilometers away from the Vnukovo airport, another source told RIA Novosti.
Multiple eyewitnesses reported hearing at least two blasts in the New Moscow district of the city around 6am local time, while several Telegram channels shared videos of smoke in the air.
