Two drones were brought down outside Moscow as they approached the warehouses of a local military unit, Moscow region Gov. Andrei Vorobyov said Wednesday, in what could be the latest attempt by Ukraine to strike targets inside Russia during the early stages of Kyiv's most recent counteroffensive.
Ukraine, which usually doesn't confirm attacks on Russian soil, made no immediate comment about the downed drones. Previously, Ukrainian officials have emphasized the country's right to strike any target in response to Russia's invasion and war that started in February 2022.
Other drones have reportedly flown deep into Russia multiple times. Since February, when a UJ-22 crashed 100 kilometres from Moscow, Ukrainian drones have repeatedly approached the Russian capital. At that time, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow's air defence "worked in a satisfactory way," but added it was "clear what we need to do to plug the gaps" in the system.
Aksyonov didn't say what caused the disruption, but some Russian media outlets reported that the rail lines were blown up overnight in apparent sabotage operations.
