On Tuesday morning, June 30, residents of the Moscow region are reporting the flights of numerous drones heading toward Moscow. In addition, drones were also recorded in another region, according to Russian Telegram channels.
Starting from 4 a.m., Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin began actively posting on Telegram that air defense systems were allegedly shooting down unknown drones flying toward the Russian capital.
At the same time, a number of posts were written simply stating the fact of the destruction of drones, which may indicate that some drones reached Moscow directly.
An hour after the attack, footage began to gradually appear on social media, in which residents showed videos of drones flying in the region toward the Russian capital.
