Moscow Mayor Says Russia Intercepted 13 Ukrainian Drones


(MENAFN) Thirteen Ukrainian drones were intercepted en route to Moscow on Saturday, according to the city’s mayor.

“Specialists from emergency services are working at the site of debris fall,” Sergey Sobyanin stated on Telegram.

In a separate update, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that overnight air defense systems had neutralized a total of 349 drones and six guided aerial bombs across various regions of Russia.

The ministry further disclosed that Russian forces launched a coordinated strike using precision-guided weapons deployed from air, land, and sea platforms, along with attack drones. These strikes were aimed at Ukrainian defense production sites allegedly involved in manufacturing missile parts and combat UAVs.

“All designated objects were hit,” the ministry stated.

Ukraine has not issued a response to the Russian claims, and independent verification remains difficult amid the ongoing war.
