Details of the drone attack
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin initially reported that air defenses had intercepted seven drones heading toward the capital. He subsequently confirmed that an additional six drones had been destroyed. Emergency services were deployed to locations where drone debris had fallen.

These restrictions were later lifted.
