Russia said Tuesday its air defenses shot down Ukrainian drones over the Moscow region and the Bryansk area along the border between the two countries.
The Russian Defense Ministry said the attack in the Moscow area involved two drones and that there was no reported damage.
Moscow’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said on Telegram that one drone was downed in the Krasnogorsk area on the northwestern side of Moscow and the other in the Chastsy area west of the city.
Reuters said there was some minor damage to a high-rise residential building in Krasnogorsk and that falling debris had damaged some cars on the ground.
The Russian Defense Ministry said two Ukrainian drones brought down by jamming systems over Bryansk crashed without causing any casualties.
The Ukrainian aerial attacks prompted Moscow airports to suspend flights for a period of time, a step that has been taken in response to drone attacks in the Russian capital region in previous days.
Russia also said Sukhoi jets destroyed a Ukrainian reconnaissance boat operating in the area of Russian gas production facilities in the Black Sea. A defense ministry statement did not give further details on the incident, including where exactly it took place.
