Russian air defense units intercepted en route to Moscow overnight on May 25, according to Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin.
Sobyanin’s claims came as Russia launched a large-scale aerial attack against Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities for the second night in a row.
Six drones were shot down as they flew towards Moscow, Sobyanin reported. Emergency workers were dispatched to the scene. No casualties or damage have been reported at the time of publication.
The Kyiv Independent could not verify Sobyanin’s claims. Ukraine rarely comments on reports of drone strikes on Russian soil.
Amid the reported attack, restrictions were introduced at Moscow’s Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports, as well as Russia’s Kaluga airport, according to the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya).
As Russia’s war drags on and the Kremlin has openly said it opposes a ceasefire, Ukraine has stepped up its drone attacks on Russian soil. In the past week, Russia has claimed that mass Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Moscow and other regions several nights in a row.
Ukraine regularly attacks Russian military infrustructure with drones. The recent surge in drone strikes aims to disrupt airport operations, overwhelm air defenses, and make the war visible to the Russian public.

I give blessing to this approach. It is important for the warmongering roaches to feel, see, and hear the impact of their war. They want it. They wish for war. They enjoy seeing Ukrainians suffer for daring to withstand them, the slave drivers, rapists, murderers, and looters, from stealing their land and oppressing them. Anything the Ukrainians can throw at them is not enough to make them suffer, too.
Mafia land must burn.
