Russia says it shot down 76 Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow

Russian air defense forces shot down 76 Ukrainian drones approaching Moscow on Friday during what authorities described as a massive attack launched by Kiev, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.

"Today the enemy launched another massive attack on Moscow. At close range alone, air defense forces shot down 76 drones. There were no casualties or damage," Sobyanin said in a post on Telegram.

The attack came just one day after another large-scale Ukrainian drone strike on and around Moscow, which left 17 people injured, according to Russian sources.
