Russia shoots down two Ukrainian drones over the sky of Moscow: "It is an act of international terrorism"

Two Ukrainian drones were shot down on Monday over Moscow with electronic combat means without causing casualties, the Russian Defense Ministry reported. It is “an act of international terrorism,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zajárova told RTVI television.

“During the morning of July 24, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack with two unmanned aerial devices against installations in the territory of Moscow was thwarted.. The two Ukrainian drones were inhibited with electronic fighting means and crashed,” Defense said in a statement. The department headed by Sergei Shoigu assured that, as a result of the “repressed terrorist attack” there were no victims.

The last attempted attack against Moscow occurred on July 4, when Defense claimed to have thwarted a terrorist attack with five drones launched by Ukraine against New Moscow, an administrative district of the Russian capital, and the Moscow region. Previously, Russia reported on June 21 the downing of three drones that were trying to attack facilities in the Moscow region.

Two of the most notorious attacks against the Russian capital that did succeed occurred in May, one against several apartment buildings that caused “minor damage” and another against the dome of the Senate Palace, which is part of the Kremlin complex in Red Square.

Likewise, the governor of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, has announced this Monday that the Russian air defense has intercepted eleven drones over the Crimean sky.. “There has been an impact on the ammunition depot in the Dzhankoy region. In addition, drone remnants have damaged a private house in the Kirovsky district,” Aksenov added.
