Air defence systems in the Russian capital on Tuesday destroyed a drone over the city, Moscow's mayor announced, without specifying whether it was a Ukrainian drone or from where it was launched.
"Air defence forces in the Odintsovo district repelled a drone attack. According to preliminary information, there is no damage or casualties at the site where the debris fell. Emergency services specialists are working at the scene," Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in a statement.
