This marks the second attempted strike on the Russian capital in less than an hour. Sobyanin’s previous post about the interception of a drone was published just 43 minutes earlier.

The exact location where the drone was downed was not disclosed. Typically, Sobyanin reports incidents involving drones intercepted within the Moscow region. If drones are intercepted before reaching the area, it is officials from respective bordering regions that make such announcements.

Emergency services are currently working at the site where the drone debris crashed, the mayor noted.
