Restrictions were imposed at all four Moscow airports, as reported by the Russian aviation authority. During the night, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin announced that 630 drones were heading towards Moscow. According to claims, Russian air defense systems shot down 163 of these UAVs en route to the capital, resulting in two injuries in the Voronovo area of New Moscow.
One eyewitness referred to the drone activity as “двіжуха” (a buzz of activity).
Reports also indicated missile strikes across the Moscow region, particularly in the vicinity of Serpukhov. Explosions from these missiles were confirmed, with local monitoring channels providing updates.
Astra reported that a military facility known as “75 Arsenal” (military unit No. 42708), part of the Russian defense ministry, was attacked in Serpukhov. An OSINT expert analyzed social media videos and confirmed that the explosions occurred within this military compound’s territory. Residents in Serpukhov corroborated the event, noting they heard powerful blasts following the drone incursions, followed by at least three missile strikes based on their observations.
