Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin revealed that the Russian air defense forces successfully intercepted a Ukrainian drone attempting to breach Moscow's airspace from the south on Saturday night, Sputnik reported. 

"At night, a drone tried to reach Moscow from the southern direction. It was stopped by the air defense forces. Thanks to the military for their work," Sobyanin said on Telegram.

The Russian Defense Ministry later provided more information on the incident, indicating that the drone was neutralized through electronic warfare, causing it to lose control and crash in an uninhabited area. Fortunately, no casualties or damage resulted from the crash, the Ministry assured.

However, the situation took a different turn in the central Russian city of Kursk, where a Ukrainian drone crashed onto the rooftop of a railway station, triggering a fire and causing injuries.

"Ukrainian drone attack in Kursk. According to preliminary information, it crashed into the roof of the railway station building, setting off a fire on the rooftop. Five people were slightly injured by shards of glass," Kursk Region Governor Roman Starovoit said on telegram. 

The Russian news agency TASS reported that five people were slightly injured by shards of glass.
