Moscow came under a massive drone attack: photos and videos

On the night of July 20, Russian capital was struck by drones. Sergey Sobyanin, the mayor of Moscow, reported that air defense forces shot down 16 drones attempting to penetrate the city. The hardest hit was Zelenograd — a former city in the Moscow region, now part of the capital. According to the mayor, emergency services are working at the site of the downed drones. There are currently no reports of serious damage or injuries.

One of the drones fell on a residential building. As a result, a fire broke out, the apartment sustained damage, and two cars burned due to debris.

Zelenograd is strategically important as it is the center of microelectronics in Russia.
