Moscow gets targeted in recent Ukrainian drone attack
(MENAFN) Moscow has successfully repelled another Ukrainian drone attack, just days after the Russian capital was targeted in a major multi-wave raid involving over 90 UAVs that killed three civilians, as reported by Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. The latest attack on Friday morning occurred shortly after US President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, departed from Moscow. Witkoff had met with Russian President Vladimir Putin the previous night to discuss the outcomes of US-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia and to communicate Moscow's stance to Washington.
Sobyanin announced that Russian air defenses intercepted four drones heading toward Moscow, and emergency services were deployed to the crash sites. There were no immediate reports of casualties, but Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport suspended operations in response to the raid. Telegram reports suggest that the debris from the drones damaged the roofs of two apartment buildings, with one building located just 2 km from the iconic Radisson Collection Hotel.
Moscow Region Governor Andrey Vorobyev confirmed the interception of three drones in the region, with two shot down over Balashikha, a city 21 km east of Moscow. The debris from one drone fell on a construction site, while another was taken down in the Leninsky Urban District, south of the capital. No injuries were reported from the attacks.
This comes after a larger Ukrainian drone assault on Tuesday, which saw Russian air defenses neutralize 337 UAVs, including 91 over Moscow Region. The attack killed three civilians and injured several others. Later that day, US and Ukrainian representatives held talks in Saudi Arabia, issuing a joint statement proposing a 30-day ceasefire, which Putin expressed support for but raised concerns about enforcement challenges and potential loopholes.
Putin warned that a ceasefire might be exploited by Ukraine for mobilization, arms supplies, and military training, and enforcing it over such a vast area could lead to disputes and a blame game.
