The governor of the region said that two drones were intercepted as they approached a military base in the Moscow region.

Debris was found after two drones were shot down near the village of Kalininets in the Naro-Fominsk region, about 50 kilometers from the capital, without causing damage or injuries, according to Andrei Vorobyov.

Mr Vorobyov wrote on Telegram on Wednesday: “Two drones crashed today at 5:30 and 5:50 am on approach to storage units at a military base.”

Another downed drone was reported by the Russian state news agency TASS, near the village of Lukino, also in the Moscow region, citing unnamed law enforcement sources.

According to TASS, two drones were intercepted on their way to the Taman Division of the Russian Ground Forces, with the division based in Kalininets.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said it had thwarted a Ukrainian drone attack on the Moscow region, adding that all three drones were shot down.

In May, drones struck wealthy neighborhoods of Moscow, in what Russia claimed was a Ukrainian attack on the city.
