The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed on Friday that its forces had thwarted a Ukrainian drone attack in the Moscow region overnight. 

"The UAV was destroyed by means of air defense," the Ministry said on Telegram, adding that there were no casualties or damage.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin had earlier announced the attack, without specifying its location. 

"An enemy drone attack attempt was made," he said on Telegram.

The attempted strike comes days after Ukraine claimed a drone attack in central Moscow.

On Monday, following an attempted Ukrainian drone strike at around 4 am on Monday, Moscow mayor Sergey Sobyanin confirmed “no major damage” after the drones crashed into non-residential buildings when the Russian military intercepted them using electronic warfare.

In its statement, the Russian Defense Ministry stated that it prevented an “attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using two unmanned aerial vehicles” on Monday. 

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that Ukraine's estimated drone losses are around 10,000 units per month. Ukrainian authorities claim that the losses are much less, saying that the figure is closer to 1,000 drones per month.

The newspaper cited a UK-based think tank, the Royal United Services Institute, which gave the estimate, contradicting Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who told the WP that Russian forces are bringing down only 1,000 drones a month.
