Moscow; On Thursday, Russia announced that it had shot down 13 Ukrainian drones that were attempting to attack Moscow and the biggest city in the Russian-occupied Crimea.
According to the Russian defence ministry, two drones were struck by air defences near Sevastopol, the Crimean city that houses the Black Sea navy base for Russia, and nine additional drones were jammed and crashed into the Black Sea.
The defence ministry reported that two drones were shot down, one over the prestigious Odintsovo neighbourhood of Moscow region and the other over the Kaluga region, southwest of the Russian capital.
The Kyiv regime's attempts to launch terrorist attacks using unmanned aerial vehicles were thwarted today, according to the defence ministry. It claimed that the drones had not caused any casualties.

Since a drone was shot down over the Kremlin in early May, drone air strikes have increased in Russia's interior. Later in May, the city's civilian areas were attacked, and earlier this month, a business district in Moscow was targeted twice in the space of three days.
At the Russian port of Novorossiysk on the Black Sea, Ukrainian remotely piloted boats, also known as drones, recently attacked a Russian fuel tanker and a navy base.

Although officials have publicly expressed their satisfaction over attacks on Russian territory, Ukraine typically doesn't comment on who is responsible. The New York Times reported in May that US intelligence agencies thought the drone strike on the Kremlin was carried out by Ukrainian spies or military intelligence.
