Russia shoots down drone in region near Moscow, governor says
Russian air defenses shot down a drone southwest of Moscow, a regional governor said Monday.
In a Telegram post, Kaluga Gov. Vladislav Shapsha said the incident happened around 2:30 a.m. local time in the region's Ferzikovsky district.
No injuries or damage were reported, he said.
The was no immediate comment from Ukraine over the reported attack.
Some context: A string of aerial drone strikes have peppered Russian cities, including Moscow, throughout the summer.
Though recent strikes on the Russian capital did not reportedly cause any injuries or fatalities, they have unsettled residents and created a sense that the scope of the conflict is drifting across the border. On Sunday, an attempted Ukrainian drone attack briefly halted traffic at an airport in Moscow, according to the city's mayor.
