Russian Air defence systems have destroyed about 30 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) approaching the city, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin told Russian Media. The mayor added that emergency services are currently working at the site where fragments of the intercepted drones fell.

According to Russian News site Izvestia, new air defence systems are forcing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to change drone routes, these systems are capable of influencing enemy tactics even before intercepting air targets. Air defence systems also intercepted another 10 drones heading toward the capital, after a group of 15 drones had been destroyed.
