Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed the destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles in a series of updates shared via social media, emphasizing that defense forces had neutralized the incoming threats aimed at the Russian capital.

Sobyanin also stated that emergency services teams have been deployed to handle the aftermath, working on the sites where drone wreckage was scattered.
