According to information shared on the Russian Telegram messenger, 34 drones were spotted in the skies over Moscow before midnight on September 22. The Russian Defense Minister reported a total of 69 drones across nine regions, including Moscow and Crimea, on the morning of September 23.
Most, if not all, of the drones were reportedly shot down. Footage on Russian channels showed areas where drones had fallen.
Incident in Residential Area
In Moscow’s New Moscow district, a jet transport plane flew low over residential buildings, likely to avoid collision with one of the drones during the attack.
