Russian air defence units destroy Moscow-bound drone, mayor says

Russian air defence units destroyed a drone heading for Moscow late on Sunday, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.

Sobyanin, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said emergency crews were examining fragments where they hit the ground.

Ukrainian forces periodically send drones toward the Russian capital. Some 40 were shot down over the Moscow region within a few hours on one occasion last week.
