The Mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin, stated that drones attacked the Russian capital, but the attack was repelled by air defense forces. Seven drones were destroyed, and there have been no reports of damage. Emergency services continue to operate at the scenes.
There are also reports of explosions in some areas of Moscow and blackouts over the city. A 'Carpet' plan is in effect at the airports, causing flight delays. Overall, the situation has turned out to be tense, but authorities have taken the necessary measures to protect the city.
According to accusations made against Ukraine, units of the UAV Forces of the Armed Forces participated in the attack on the Volgograd oil refinery. Russian public forums previously recorded similar incidents in the city. On the night of September 18, Ukrainian troops again struck the plant, halting its operation.
As a result of these events, further reactions from both sides are to be expected, as well as a possible escalation of the conflict.
