Russia said that it intercepted a Ukrainian attack on Crimea Sunday, with Ukrainian drones also attacking Moscow.
Ukraine has launched a series of attacks targeting Crimea in recent days in its much anticipated counteroffensive against Russia. Russia’s defense ministry said Sunday that its air defense systems took down at least six drones that were targeting Crimea, Reuters reported.
Russia officials also said that Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow Sunday as attacks inside Russia’s lines have increased since Ukraine launched its counteroffensive. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said that at least two Ukrainian drones were shot down near Russia’s capital city.
“According to preliminary data, there is no destruction or casualty at the site of the wreckage. Emergency specialists are working at the scene,” Sobyanin posted on Telegram about an attempted drone attack in the Istra district.
