Ukraine attacked the Russian capital, Moscow, with 3 drones on Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry stated.

Russian air defenses were able to thwart the attack, shooting down 2 Ukrainian drones while electronic jamming systems disabled another.

"Overnight to August 1, an attempt of a terrorist attack by the Kiev regime with unmanned aerial vehicles against facilities in the city of Moscow and the Moscow Region was thwarted," the ministry revealed.

"Two Ukrainian UAVs were destroyed in the air by air defense systems above the Odintsovo and Naro-Fominsk districts of the Moscow Region," the ministry explained.  

"Another drone was suppressed by electronic warfare means and, having lost control, crashed on the territory of a complex of non-residential buildings in Moscow City," it added.  

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said the downed drone hit a tower in the Moscow City business center and damaged its facade.  

The Ministry of Defense reported Sunday that three Ukrainian drones were shot down over the capital, causing a brief closure of the international airport.

The Russian defense ministry labeled the incident as an "attempted terrorist attack," adding, "On the morning of July 30, the Kiev regime's attempted terrorist attack with unmanned aerial vehicles on objects in the city of Moscow was thwarted."

Kiev has increased the amount of long-range missile and drone attacks against Russian cities and drones, coinciding with a failed counteroffensive on the frontline. Ukraine is suffering huge losses both in the air and on the ground as Ukrainian armed forces entrap themselves in minefields and artillery ambushes, losing essential Western equipment and vehicles.

The Washington Post estimates that Ukraine's drone losses are around 10,000 drones a month, citing a UK-based think tank, the Royal United Services Institute, which gave the ten thousand estimate, contradicting Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who told the WP that Russian forces are bringing down only 1,000 drones a month. 

In the month of July alone, Ukraine lost 20,824 soldiers and 2,227 pieces of military equipment, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Monday before a meeting with the defense ministry's leadership.

"Over the past month, as a result of the successful activities of our troops, the losses of the enemy amounted to more than 20,800 servicemen, to be exact, 20,824 people, and 2,227 pieces of various weapons," Shoigu said, adding that Kiev sustained the loss of an additional10 Leopard tanks.
