This is the closest place to the Kremlin that Ukrainian drones have ever flown, not counting the successful attack on the Kremlin itself exactly 3 years ago, on May 3, 2023.
Mash, citing eyewitnesses, writes that part of the facade collapsed onto a car under the house. Traffic near the house was blocked . The house is located in a prestigious area in the southwest of Moscow, where, in particular, foreign embassies are located.
According to the Ukrainian monitoring channel Exilenova+, the drone that attacked Moscow “turned out to be a full-fledged attack drone of the FP-1 type.”
Moscow is protected by numerous air defense systems , as Radio Liberty reported, and cases of drones hitting buildings in the city itself are extremely rare.
After the first attacks by Ukrainian UAVs on the Russian capital in the spring of 2023, Russian authorities erected several air defense “rings” around Moscow, consisting of more than 100 positions of Pantsir anti-aircraft missile systems.
On May 9, a Victory Day parade will be held in the Russian capital. This year it will be held in a reduced form - without military equipment, Suvorov students and cadets. The authorities explained this by the operational situation. Ukrainian drones attack targets in Russia almost every night.
The governor of the Bryansk region, Alexander Bogomaz, reported that in the village of Century, Suzemsky district, a drone hit a moving Miratorg truck, and the driver was injured. He was taken to the hospital.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported 117 downed Ukrainian drones over 13 regions and the Moscow region.
