In Moscow, during the night of May 28, explosions were heard amid air defense operations targeting drones. As a result of the air attack, a fire broke out in a technopark in Zelenograd, and one of its buildings was damaged, according to Astra and the channel of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin.
The Moscow mayor reported the "repelling" of drone attacks flying toward Moscow, roughly between 12:30 AM and 4:30 AM.
According to Sobyanin, a total of 33 drones were reportedly shot down by air defense systems.
He repeatedly emphasized that initially "there were no serious damages or casualties," and that "emergency service specialists are working at the sites where the drone fragments fell."
He made a similar statement specifically regarding the aftermath in Zelenograd.
For reference: Zelenograd is one of the twelve districts of Russia’s capital. It is located entirely outside the Moscow Ring Road, about 37 km northwest of central Moscow.
Zelenograd (composed of 5 districts) is considered the main scientific and industrial center of Russian electronics and microelectronics.
