On the night of August 1, an attempted terrorist attack by the Kiev regime by unmanned aerial vehicles on objects in Moscow and the Moscow region was thwarted.
Two Ukrainian UAVs were destroyed by air defense systems over the territory of the Odintsovo and Narofominsk districts of the Moscow region.
Another drone was suppressed by electronic warfare and, having lost control, crashed on the territory of the Moscow City non-residential building complex.
