Three Ukrainian aircraft-type drones were suppressed by electronic warfare while approaching facilities in the Moscow Region, the Russian Defense Ministry told reporters on Wednesday, TASS reports.
"Today we have foiled an attempt of the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack on facilities in the Moscow Region with three aircraft-type drones. All drones were deflected by electronic warfare, they lost control and crashed," the Defense Ministry said.
The ministry added that there were no casualties or damage as a result of the failed terrorist attack.
Law enforcement officers earlier told TASS that in the morning of June 21 "three drones were suppressed by electronic warfare out in a field near the village of Lukino in Novaya Moskva and in the area [of deployment] of the Tamanskaya division in the Moscow Region. They fell without damaging any facilities."
Russian anti-drone systems coped with their mission of repelling today’s Ukrainian drone attack outside Moscow, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
"An attack was carried out and anti-drone systems coped with their task. The relevant agencies are now investigating that," the Russian presidential spokesman said, adding that the Ukrainian drones "were neutralized."
"The details should be requested from the Defense Ministry," Peskov added.
As the Russian Defense Ministry reported earlier on Wednesday, three Ukrainian aircraft-type drones were disabled by electronic warfare systems as they approached facilities in the Moscow Region on the morning of June 21.
There were no victims or destruction from Ukraine’s failed terror attack, the ministry stressed.
