Local media reported that debris damaged several cars in the Russian capital’s suburbs
Russian air defenses have destroyed or intercepted 32 Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow, according to Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, with no reports of casualties or major damage.
In a series of Telegram posts beginning around 8pm on Monday, Sobyanin described several waves of attacks that stretched into the early hours of Tuesday. He did not provide details on injuries, damage, or the exact crash sites, saying only that emergency services were working where debris had fallen.
However, the Telegram channel Mash reported that drone wreckage landed in Solntsevo, a residential district in western Moscow, and in Reutov, a town just east of the capital. It said fragments damaged four cars in a parking lot in Reutov.
Temporary restrictions on takeoffs and landings at Sheremetyevo Airport were also introduced amid the drone attacks, although the measures were later lifted.

On Tuesday morning, the Russian Defense Ministry said that from midnight to 7am on Tuesday, a total of 69 Ukrainian drones had been neutralized over the regions of Belgorod, Bryansk, Kaluga, Kursk, Moscow, Rostov, Ryazan, Samara, and Saratov, as well as Crimea.
Ukraine has routinely launched drone attacks deep into Russia, often targeting residential buildings and critical infrastructure, with Moscow denouncing the raids as “terrorism.”
